Samples of head and body lice obtained from Ethiopians suffering from double infestations were mounted on microscope slides and measured. The mean length of body lice (f 4.4 mm; m 3.8mm) was greater than that of head lice (f 3.5 mm; m 2.9 mm), but the best discriminate was the length of the tibia of the middle leg (f 425/296 mm; m 421/291 mm). No intermediate specimens were found in these double infestations, although intermediates can be produced experimentally by cross-mating. Since populations of head lice and body lice remain distinct it is concluded that they represent two distinct species, Pediculus capitis De Geer and P. humanus Linneaus.

The interpretation of surveys of DDT-resistance in body-lice is handicapped by the fact that the genetics of this form of resistance have not been studied. This paper reports on a preliminary investigation on normal and resistant strains of lice, F(1) and F(2) hybrids of a mass cross and F(1) x R hybrids exposed to DDT dust and DDT-impregnated paper of various concentrations. The results were consistent with inheritance by a single gene pair (or possibly a small number of genes). The F(1) hybrids were intermediate in tolerance but were all killed by 5% DDT dust. This confirms a suggestion that 5% DDT dust would be suitable for testing for incipient resistance.

The following is substantially the authors' summary. To investigate the mode of inheritance of dieldrin resistance in Cimex lectularius L. and Pediculus humanus humanus L., reciprocal crosses were made between normal (N) and resistant (R) strains of each species, and the susceptibility of the N parent strain and the F1 and F2 progeny was examined by exposure to a range of concentrations. Back-crosses were made from the F1 generation to the N and R strains, and the progeny examined in the same way. In some cases, further back-crosses were made after elimination of susceptible individuals from the progeny of the first back-cross. All the results with C. lectularius were consistent with monofactorial inheritance of resistance through a gene of intermediate dominance [cf. R.A.E., B 52 6, etc.]. With P. h. humanus, the results were complicated by an apparent maternal effect that caused the F1 and F2 generations from a cross between an N female and an R male to be less resistant than those from the reciprocal cross. In general, however, the results indicated genetic segregation consistent with the same type of monofactorial inheritance as that found in C. lectularius.

A standard kit is prepared and distributed by WHO for testing insecticide resistance in adult mosquitos, and it would seem advantageous to be able to use the filter papers impregnated with DDT and dieldrin contained in this kit for testing resistance in other insects. Experiments have been successfully conducted with a view to developing methods based on the use of these papers for testing susceptibility levels in bed-bugs, cone-nosed bugs, fleas and lice. The designs of the various test methods and the results obtained are described in this paper. The tests for bed-bugs and fleas have been adopted as provisional methods by the WHO Expert Committee on Insecticides; those for cone-nosed bugs and lice have been designated tentative methods, requiring further investigation prior to the drawing up of specifications.

Starting with insecticide-resistant strains of house-flies [Musca domestica L.] from Italy (I) and Sardinia (S) [R.A.E., B 41 122] and a non-resistant colony from Rome (N), the author attempted the segregation of strains with different kinds of resistance by selective breeding. When the N and S strains were crossed and the male progeny that survived exposure to γ BHG were back-crossed with susceptible females for three generations, resistance to γ BHC was maintained and some tolerance of chlordane and dieldrin was preserved, while resistance to DDT was lowered practically to normal. Eesistance to chlordane, dieldrin and γ BHC rose 500, 300 and 60 times, respectively, in a line (Ch) derived from the I strain by selection for resistance to chlordane on six occasions over a period of 11 generations, whereas resistance to DDT increased only 2.2 times. Selection by exposing batches of flies of a sub-colony (P) of the I strain to pyrethrins seven times in 12 generations caused only a slight increase in resistance. Flies of this sub-colony were subsequently twice selected for resistance to paralysis by DDT, and resistance to pyrethrins increased somewhat in consequence. An 88 sub-colony was derived from the 8 strain by selecting for resistance to kill by DDT in two successive generations to make the average lethal dose about the same as that for the Ch sub-colony, and an 8 k-d sub-colony was selected for resistance to DDT-paralysis over 11 generations by breeding from flies not readily knocked down by DDT. These various strains were then maintained in isolation without further treatment, and tests were made of their insecticide resistance. In addition to those used in the preceding tests, the insecticides included DANP (1, 1-dianisyl-neopentane),. which is a DDT analogue of interest in connection with the mechanism of resistance to DDT because all the chlorine atoms of the latter are replaced by methyl or methoxy groups [l, l-di(p-methoxyphenyl)-2, 2, 2-trimethyl-ethane]. The median lethal concentrations (MLC) of all the insecticides to each strain and also the rates of knockdown by DDT are given in a table, and the following conclusions are drawn from it. Eesistance to BHC and chlordane are independent of resistance to DDT, but the factors for resistance to BHC, chlordane and çUeldrin are linked, so that selection with one raises resistance to the others. Resistance to paralysis caused by DDT is not closely linked with resistance to its lethal effect [loc. cit.']. Strains I and S have about the same resistance to the lethal action of DDT and so have strains Ch and 88, but the first member of each pair is considerably more resistant to paralysis than the second. Resistance to DANP is correlated with resistance to pyrethrins and to paralysis by DDT. This is an extension of an earlier observation that resistance to DDT analogues in the I strain (which is resistant to pyrethrins and to paralysis by DDT) is, unlike that in the 8 strain, unrelated to the ease of dehydrochlorination. It seems that there is a DDT-resistance factor not concerned with dehydrochlorination [cf. loe. cit.] and associated with resistance to paralysis by DDT and kill by pyrethrins.
Reports having been received of resistance to DDT in body lice [Pediculus humanus humanus L.] in Korea [cf. 41 106], a strain of body lice was reared from eggs obtained from a laboratory colony in Cairo for experiments on alternative insecticides. Spray tests, however, indicated that the MLC of DDT for the Egyptian strain was nine times as great as that for susceptible British lice assessed by the same technique in 1946 [36 217], the MLC of γ BHC being 1.3 times as great. Tests in which lice of the Egyptian strain and a new susceptible strain from London were exposed in batches for 18 hours at 30°C. [86°F.] on filter papers impregnated with insecticides. in a eonstant volume of oil [cf. 41 156] indicated that the Egyptian lice were about normally susceptible to y BHC, chlordane, dieldrin,. aldrin, toxaphene, allethrin and pyrethrins, whereas the MLC of DDT for them was much more than 3 per cent, as compared with 0.6 per cent, for the London strain. As the MLC of DANP for the London strain was 2.5 per cent., whereas none of the Egyptian lice was killed by 10 per cent., the DDT resistance of the latter cannot be accounted for by a dehydrochlorination mechanism. It may have resulted from large-scale dusting of Egyptian villagers with DDT for four years before the Cairo colony was started. The colony had been kept for two years without exposure to insecticide before the eggs from it were sent to London. The Egyptian lice appear to be less resistant to DDT than the Korean ones.

Between December 1947 and May 1949, six colonies of Pediculus humanus humanus L. (P. h. corporis Deg.) from various sources were cultured in England in the laboratory on the human leg. Three of the strains originated from natural infestations in England, and the others came from laboratory cultures in Hamburg, Basle and Tunis. After the strains had been bred for at least one generation in the laboratory, lice from each were exposed to standard DDT-impreseated fabrics to test their resistance, if any. Only the strain from Tunis showed evidence of abnormal resistance. This strain had been maintained in the laboratory there for about 12 years, and in tests with three successive generations, its resistance varied significantly from one generation to the next.
Colonies of Acdes aegypti (L.) from Karachi, Poona and Delhi, which were being maintained at a laboratory in Lagos, were compared with a local Nigerian strain for resistance to DDT by Busvine in 1952. Extensive tests in which the mosquitos were exposed for one hour in filter-paper cylinders impregnated with oil solution of DDT [cf. E.A.E., B 41 156] showed no difference in the average susceptibility of the four strains, though there was a significant difference between the Karachi and Nigerian strains in the extent of variation in susceptibility. Comparative tests also showed no difference in susceptibility to y BHC between a laboratory culture of A. aegypti at Lagos and a colony started with larvae from Ilaro, a Nigerian town in which all the houses had been sprayed with BHC (10-15 mg. γ isomer per sq. ft.) every three months for 21/2 years.
In 1952, Busvine also compared the susceptibility to insecticides of four strains of house-flies of which colonies were maintained at Lagos on monkey faeces as oviposition medium and larval food. They comprised a normally susceptible strain of Musca domestica domestica L. from England, strains of M. d. vicina Macq. and M. sorbens Wied. from Yaba, near Lagos, and a strain of M. d. vicina from Ilaro. The flies were treated individually with drops of oil solution of insecticide applied dorsally. On the basis of median lethal concentrations, Yaba vicina was somewhat more susceptible to y BHC and dieldrin and sorbens was considerably more susceptible to y BHC and DDT than was domestica from England. These differences could be explained by the smaller average sizes of the two susceptible strains. On the other hand, each of the vicina strains was 5-4 times as resistant to DDT as English domestica, although no DDT had been used at liaro and little, if any, in Lagos. Ilaro vicina was 11.4 times as resistant to y BHC and nearly twice as resistant to dieldrin as Yaba vicina and 5.7 times as resistant to y BHC as domestica from England.

A variety of substances has been tested by laboratory methods as insecticides against the bed-bug and the body-louse. The oil-soluble samples were tested by the Potter tower method which gave the most accurate results. Certain liquids were tested by a simple dipping method, and solids insoluble in mineral oils were tested as aqueous solutions by the dipping method or as dusts.

Various organic thiocyanates were found to show similar relative toxicity to the louse and bug, but the pyrethrins were much more toxic to the latter. D.D.T. was highly toxic to both and Gammexane even more insecticidal, especially to the louse.

In the dipping tests, two types of toxic action were observed: an immediate physicochemical action and a delayed lethal action due to asphyxiation. Refined mineral oils kill lice by the latter method. Among the aqueous preparations, the emulsion of cresols known as Lysol was noteworthy for its ovicidal powers.

Some experiments were made with extracts of delphinium seeds, the insecticidal powers of which were shown to reside in the alkaloids.
