Active ingredient Population (origin)
C. nubeculosus C. obsoletus C. imicola
(Cirad, FR) (Corrèze, FR) (Mallorca, ES) (Corsica, FR) (Catalonia, ES) (Rufisque, SEN) (Pretoria,SA)
Pyrethroids
 Deltamethrin 0.03 0.01 0.04 0.01 0.04 0.01 0.03
 Alpha-cypermethrin 0.61 0.21 0.03
 Permethrin 2.65 0.48 1.12 0.77 1.55 0.20
Organophosphates
 Chlorpyrifos-methyl 0.82 0.74 1.36
 Phoxim 1.05 1.16 1.22
 Diazinon 1.26 2.29 2.54

Most of diagnostic concentrations likely overestimated due to classical dose/response analysis (see discussion)
