Abstract
The effects of minor variations in the malathion molecule upon the resistance of Culex tarsalis have been examined. By replacing the carboethoxy group by carbomethoxy, the 60-fold resistance to malathion is abolished. The results confirm the importance of carboxyesterase action in determining susceptibility to malathion.Keywords
