- Abstract
The article presents a study to determine organochlorine residue sequestration by Anopheles (A.) culicifacies sensu lato mosquito larvae. Results of the Present study revealed that when mosquito larvae of A. culicjfacies come in direct contact with HCH and DDT contaminated breeding habitats, they may sequestrate large amounts of these pesticides. This may help in developing resistance in aquatic stages without coming in direct contact with residual spraying. It is to point out that about 80% A.culicifacies population from this area was found resistant to HCH and DDT.
