Brisk and continuous application of routine insecticide i.e., dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) for long had evoked the problem of resistance among Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) vector Phlebotomus argentipes (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Bihar, affecting DDT based strategies for controlling vector population. In this way, strong resistant colony of P. argentipes would provide fundamental platform to reveal the mechanistic reason behind the arousal of DDT resistance among sand flies. Present report summarizes our experiences with baseline establishment and maintenance of DDT resistant colony of P. argentipes after studying susceptibility profile for districts of Bihar. The district with lowest susceptibility or highest resistance against DDT would inculcate the collection of resistant sand flies for procuring resistant colony of P. argentipes, the fore.. View More»
