Anopheles Stephensi is an important malaria vector in southern Iran. This species developed resistance to DDT in 1975 and subsequently to dieldrin in 1960. Since 1968 this species has been under pressure of malathin house sprayin. 50% w.d.p. , 2g/m2, 1-2 rounds per year. Susceptibility tests carried out with malathion impregnated papers during 1979 showed that An.stephensi has acquired resistant to malathion too. With regard to the 0.1% propoxur, a study was carried out to obtain base-line data in the localities under routine observations and also the discriminating dosage that could kill 100% of An.stephensi. The objective of the present paper is to summarize and discuss briefly the field investigations concerning insecticide resistance in An.stephensi.

Finger prints of 68 patients with Down's syndrome and 93 controls have been collected and analyzed for topological of formulation of finger tip patterns suggested by Loesch (1975). The results showed that there may be great differences in the dictionary of the finger patterns of the patients and their controls. Mean lunar and radial patterns showed mostly significant differences among the patients and their controls. Exact role of dermatoglyphic topology of finger patterns in Down's syndrome will be found out only after doing many studies in many populations.
