It is a compound of biological origin, whose insecticide action is highly effective against a great number of insects. Laboratory larval bioassays of spinosad on Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Anopheles gainbiae (specimens that were either susceptible or resistant to pyrethroids, carbamates, and organophosphates) showed that this product had a lethal action (mortality after 24 h of exposure) regardless of the original status, susceptible or resistant, of the mosquito larvae. specialized spinosad Aedes aegypti Anopheles ganibiae Culex quinquefasciatus insecticide resistance 21 4 495-496 2005 8756-971X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00000694 10.2987/8756-971X(2006)21[495:SANLAI]2.0.CO;2 8756-971X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00000694 IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2006-03-30 2017-08-23 PAR00000694 fre
