From data on the rate of build-up of insecticide resistance in wild populations of Anopheles culicifacies and A. stephensi, calculations were made of the coefficients of selection required to produce these rates of evolution. Resistances might be effectively dominant, recessive or intermediate. In the case of DDT resistance in A. culicifacies the fitness of resistant individuals was 1.28-1.51.times. that of susceptibles. Data were examined with reference to the reversions towards susceptibility which occurred when spraying was withdrawn. The coefficients of selection against resistance, (required to produce observed rates of reversion) were calculated. In the case of A. culicifacies and DDT these coefficients were inversely related to the initial frequency of the susceptibility gene. The coefficients of selection were used to assess the feasibility of inhibiting the evolution of resistance by spraying different insecticides in the alternate sectors of a grid pattern and/or periodically releasing susceptible males. If the proportion of migrants from sector to sector were 15-30%, a grid system would reduce the rate of evolution of resistance, but to prevent resistance from building up to high levels periodic releases are also required. These releases need not be frequent (approximately during 1 mo. each year) if resistance is effectively recessive in the field.
