aGST (glutathione-S-transferases), α-est (α-esterases), P-est (PNPA esterases), β-est (β-esterases) and MFO (mixed-function oxidases) were classified according to Brasil (2006): RF-reference, U-unaltered, A-altered, HA-highly altered.

bExposure records until 2010 for temephos, Bti-Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis, IGR (Diflubenzuron or Novaluron).

cResistance Ratio at Lethal Concentrations (mg/L) for 95% of exposed larvae after 24 h: LC for sample tested/LC for the Rockefeller colony.

dClassification adapted from Mazzari and Georghiou (1995): S-Susceptible (RR < 3), LR-Low Resistance (3 < RR < 5), MR-Moderate Resistance (5 < RR < 10), HR-High Resistance (>10).

eData from Strode et al. (2012).
