aLethal Concentrations (mg/L) for 50% (LC50) or 90% (LC90) of larvae after 24 h. bClassification 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).

cResistance Ratio: LC for sample tested/LC for the Rockefeller reference colony.
