abstract = "Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is an extraordinary example of pest resistance to insecticides. It is proved that increased activity
of CPB’s ALiE / carboxylesterase is closely related to resistance to organophosphate insecticides. ALiE activity of diferent
populations was tested, using spectrophotometry. The frequencies of ALiE activity of individual larvae were similar to the
binomial distribution. For more resistant populations to organophosphates, the whole graph is shifted to the area with higher
enzyme activity. Consequently, individuals with lower ALiE activity disappear from the population while individuals with
higher activity appear more frequently. The analysis of single larvae ALiE activity showed a fairly high homogeneity of the
examined populations, except for the population Kaona. Examination of single insect ALiE activity is viable and provides
insight into the population, which is important for further genetic testing.",
