  abstract = {{T}he physiological susceptibility to insecticides and the behavioral responses of four wild-caught populations of female {A}nopheles epiroticus to synthetic pyrethroids (deltamethrin, permethrin, and alpha-cypermethrin) were assessed. {T}est populations were collected from different localities along the eastern coast, {T}rat ({TR}), {S}ongkhla ({SK}), and {S}urat {T}hani ({ST}) and one population from the western coast, {P}hang {N}ga ({PN}). {R}esults showed that all four populations of {A}n. epiroticus were susceptible to all three synthetic pyrethroids tested. {B}ehavioral responses to test compounds were characterized for all four populations using an excito-repellency test system. {TR} displayed the strongest contact excitation ('irritancy') escape response (76.8% exposed to deltamethrin, 74.1% permethrin, and 78.4% alpha-cypermethrin), followed by the {PN} population (24.4% deltamethrin, 35% permethrin, and 34.4% for alpha-cypermethrin) by rapidly escaping test chambers after direct contact with surfaces treated with each active ingredient compared with match-paired untreated controls. {M}oderate non-contact repellency responses to all three compounds were observed in the {TR} population but were comparatively weaker than paired contact tests. {F}ew mosquitoes from the {SK} and {ST} populations escaped from test chambers, regardless of insecticide tested or type of trial. {W}e conclude that contact excitation was a major behavioral response in two populations of {A}n. epiroticus, whereas two other populations showed virtually no escape response following exposure to the three pyrethroids. {T}he explanation for these large unexpected differences in avoidance responses between pyrethroid-susceptible populations of the same species is unclear and warrants further investigation.},
