✦ Synopsis

DDT resistance in adults of the BKPM3 strain ofAedes aegypti, homozygous for the pyrethroid resistance gene RPY, was found to be due to factors on both chromosomes II and III. No evidence was found to suggest the presence of factors conferring resistance to permethrin on chromosome II and consequently that DDT resistance factor(s) on this chromosome are related to permethrin resistance. Further confirmation that RPY is the major gene controlling pyrethroid resistance was obtained and also evidence that it is closely linked or allelic to the chromosome III DDT resistance factor.
