normal nerve impulse transmission in insects, an
impulse is passed from one neuron to another via
a substance called acetylcholine. After the impulse
is transmitted, acetylcholine must be broken
down to prevent additional impulses from being
initiated. The enzyme that allows this breakdown
to occur is acetylcholinesterase. DDVP inhibits
acetylcholinesterase, allowing acetylcholine to continue
to induce impulses, which paralyzes the insect’s
nervous system and eventually causes death.
