Abstract
The author discusses the meaning of insecticide resistance and the manner in which it should be detected and measured. From some recent data he gives a number of examples of measurements of resistance in mosquitos of different species in various areas. He then proceeds to a speculative discussion on the way in which insecticide resistance arises, whether it can be prevented and overcome, its importance in the past and at present, and finally its future prospects.Keywords
