The Isla Verde, Puerto Rico, laboratory colony, highly resistant to DDT and dieldrin in 1959, became even more so by 1960; resistance to organic phosphates was also greater than before. In laboratory tests Bayer 29493 was best for killing resistant larvae and adults. It is improved with piperonyl butoxide at the ratio of 10:1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
