  abstract = {{R}esistance to organophosphates and carbarnates was investigated in three samples of {C}ulex pipiens quinquefasciatus {S}ay. from {C}otonou and {P}arakou in the {R}epublic of {B}enin. {E}ach population of larvae was selected with propoxur to eliminate susceptible individuals and more easily analyse resistant mosquitoes if the resistance allele is present in the field sample. {T}he mass-selection showed that there are resistant mosquitoes in natural populations of {C}. p. quinquefasciatus in {B}enin and that nowadays they are still at a low frequency. {T}he result of the {PCR}-based assay revealed the presence of the {C}119{S} mutation in all the {C}. p. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes that survived exposure to mass-selection. {T}his mutation is the same than reported in a large range of insects, including {A}nopheles gambiae. {T}hus, the {G}119{S} mutation is spreading in natural populations of {C}. p. quinquefasciatus in {A}frica. {T}herefore, good mosquito control strategies and agricultural use of insecticides are critical, and should be carefully applied to limit the spread of this resistance gene.},
