Abstract :The effects of Malathion, Cyfluthrin, and DDT were observed on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LDH); in susceptible and resistant strains of culicine mosquitoes. Biochemical estimation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(colorimetry); revealed a remarkable increase in the enzyme activity in Culex fatigans insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.Y. strain);. In contrast, in Culex fatigans insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(G.I. strain); and Culex fatigans insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K.U strain);, inhibition of enzyme activity was found after treatment with pesticides.
