At 24 h post-exposure, the average mortality rates for Ae. aegypti exposed against bendiocarb (1 %) and DDT (4 %) were 98.8 % and 100 %, respectively, indicating full susceptibility. Te average mortalities associated with pirimiphos-methyl (0.25 %) and deltamethrin (0.05 %) were 94.4 %, 93.8 %, respectively, suggesting possible or unconfirmed resistance. Increasing the dose of deltamethrin to 0.5 % increased the 24 - h mortality to 96.3 %, suggesting that even at this dose the mosquitoes were still slightly resistant. Tests against permethrin showed average mortality rates of 73.8 % and 88.8 %, indicating clearly confirmed resistance even at the five times higher dose of 3.75 %. In contrast, the Ae. aegypti mosquitoes were fully susceptible to DDT and bendiocarb (Fig. 3).	en	Abas, Amri S., Simfukwe, Alfred J., Masalu, John P., Kahamba, Najat F., Nambunga, Ismail H., Msaky, Dickson S., Limwagu, Alex J., Kipekepeke, Abdallah R., Wergin, Carsten, Njalambaha, Rukiyah M., Kemibala, Elison E., Seleman, Amour, Mlacha, Yeromin P., Finda, Marceline, Beisel, Uli, Kimaro, Esther G., Ngowo, Halfan S., Okumu, Fredros O.
