Mohanty et al. (2008) studied the efficacy of the virulent M. anisopliae strain 892 -isolated from Pyrausta nubilalis - against mosquito larvae. LC50 values of M. anisopliae 892 for Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti were examined. M. anisopliae 892 was found to cause approximately 50% mortality of C. quinquefasciatus 4 days post inoculation. The production of subtilisin-like (Prl) and trypsin-like protease (Pr2) was measured in the presence of certain inducers. Significant differences in the production of Prl and Pr2 were found following the addition of inducers i.e. cuticles of the three... 

Fourteen triorganotins were screened against the second to the fourth instar larval stages of the Anopheles stephensi (An. stephensi) mosquitoes, with tricyclohexyltin compounds being the most effective, with... 

Hydrolysis. Carboxylesterases are frequently one of the major factors in OP resistance. In some insects, for instance the house fly (28), there are highly substrate specific esterases which attack only one or a very few molecules. "Malathionase", the prominent esterase responsible for many cases of malathion resistance, is highly specific for malathion. It cleaves one or both of the ethyl ester groups leaving malathion mono- or diacid (29). This enzyme is a true serine carboxylesterase that is inhibited by malaoxon (28) and does not hydrolyze any of the phosphoester bonds. In Anopheles stephensi from Pakistan, the malathion resistance decreased with adult age, but there was no concommittant decrease in general esterase activity as measured with 1- and 2-naphthylace-tate as model substrates (301. other mosquitoes have a carboxylesterase with broad substrate specificity that is associated with resistance (31-331. As mentioned above, the green peach aphid has a carboxylesterase, E4, with broad substrate specificity that sequesters toxicants (24).

A cockroach, Leucophaea maderae, was found to contain alcohol dehydrogenase in the fat bodies, the functions of which resemble the mammalian liver (504). A malaria mosquito, Anopheles stephensi, has three variants of alcohol dehydrogenase, corresponding to codominant alleles at a single, probably autosomal, locus (505).

Although we lack sufficiently detailed information to generalize the location and characteristics of the indigenous gut strains in arthropods, considering their enormous diversity, most insects known to host symbiotic AAB share one common trait they feed on sugar-rich diets such as nectars, phloematic sap, and fruits (e.g., the fruit fly D. melanogaster, the Asian malaria mosquito Anopheles stephensi) (Crotti et al. 2010).
