The susceptibility to 4% DDT was tested in adult Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes collected in houses in Phnom Penh (Kampuchea). It was found that in spite of the fact that insecticide treatment had not been performed for many years, the populations of both species as a whole remained resistant. However, there were some differences in the susceptibility between males and females and between engorged and hungry females. Possible causes of these differences are discussed in the present paper.
