A 55.6-fold level of resistance to parathion in larvae of a multiresistant strain ofCulex tarsalisCoquillett was shown to be due to slower penetration and increased metabolism of the toxicant. After 4 h exposure, 1.9× more water-soluble metabolites and 0.4× less intact parathion were recovered from the resistant strain relative to the susceptible. Comparable amounts of paraoxon were isolated from both strains. During the same period, larvae of the susceptible strain absorbed 1.3× as much parathion as resistant larvae.In vivotests revealed strong synergism of organophosphorus compounds in the resistant strain by DEF (S, S, S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate) but antagonism or no effect by piperonyl butoxide.In vitroassays indicated that resistance was not due to acetylcholinesterase insensitivity to inhibition by organophosphates.
