Adulticide bioassays with Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from Lahore, Pakistan. PAg and PAb designate Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus populations, respectively. Dose-diagnostic tests with the pyrethroids permethrin (0.25%), etofenprox (0.5%), alpha-cypermethrin (0.03%) and deltamethrin (0.03%) in WHO test tubes, and the organophosphate malathion (20 µg) in bottle assays. Bars and errors indicate the mean mortality ± SEM. Populations below 90% of mortality (indicated by the red dotted line) are resistant. Aedes aegypti Rockefeller reached 100% mortality in all assays run in parallel.
