Table 1 Mortality upon exposure to deltamethrin in An. sinensis populations

*Mortality refers to the percentage of mosquitoes that died 24 h after recovery from a 60 min exposure to the insecticides. Resistance was defined as mortality <90%, probable resistance was defined as mortality 90–98%, and susceptibility was defined as mortality >98%. **The laboratory mosquitoes included the susceptible colony, which has been cultured in the insectaria for more than 500 generations and has never been exposed to any insecticide. ***Forty mosquitoes of laboratory strain were exposed to filter paper without insecticide for 60 min, and mortality was recorded after the 24 h recovery period.
