Differences in excito-repellent behavior between susceptible and permethrin-resistant strains of Aedes aegypti upon exposure to insecticide-treated fabric.

These findings confirm the role of antennal olfactory components in the expression of excito-repellent behaviors, and also support the hypothesis that excito-repellency from pyrethroid/DDT exposure is probably due to a combination of sublethal neurotoxic excitation and interactions with the olfactory system.
