Insecticide Resistance in Houseflies in California
نویسنده
چکیده
Precise measurement of insecticide toxicity against house flies from various poultry ranches, dairies and cattle feed lots provided evidence of the presence of resistance roughly in proportion to the extent of insecticide use in each situation. The data indicate where changes to new insecticides are advisable, and illustrate how heavy reliance on insecticides over several years for fly control leads to gradual depletion of available insecticide resources.

Spinosad resistance in the housefly, Musca domestica, is due to a recessive factor on autosome 1
Spinosad is a new and highly promising insecticide with efficacy against a wide range of insects, including houseflies. Selection of the field collected houseflies produced a highly spinosad resistant (>150fold) strain of housefly following 10 generations of selection. Spinosad resistance was a recessive trait linked to autosome 1 which could not be overcome with the insecticide synergists pipe...
متن کاملDDT dehydrochlorinase. I. Isolation, chemical properties, and spectrophotometric assay.
The dehydrochlorination of 1 , 1 , I-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane to its nontoxic, ethylenic analogue, DDE,* by extracts of DDT-resistant houseflies (1Musca domestica) was first demonstrated by Sternburg et al. (I). It was shown that this system was GSH-dependent and that no DDT dehydrochlorinase could be detected in DDT-susceptible flies by the means then available. The titer of DDT...
متن کاملRole of the transcriptional repressor mdGfi-1 in CYP6D1v1-mediated insecticide resistance in the house fly, Musca domestica.
Gfi-1 is a C(2)H(2)-type zinc finger protein that is a transcriptional repressor in vertebrates and has been implicated in control of CYP6D1 expression in house flies (Musca domestica). A 15 bp insert, which disrupts a putative mdGfi-1 binding site in the CYP6D1v1 promoter has been implicated as a cause of increased expression of CYP6D1, and thus insecticide resistance. Using electrophoretic mo...
متن کاملLuring houseflies (Musca domestica) to traps: do cuticular hydrocarbons and visual cues increase catch?
Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) are a major pest species of livestock units and landfill sites. Insecticide resistance has resulted in an increased emphasis on lure-and-kill control methods, but the success of this approach relies on the effective attraction of houseflies with olfactory or visual stimuli. This study examined the efficacy of olfactory (cuticular hydrocarbons) or visual (colours ...
متن کاملEvaluation of (Z )-9-tricosene baited targets for control of the housefly (Musca domestica) in outdoor situations
Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) are a major pest species in a variety of outdoor situations, notably on and around livestock farms and landfill used for the disposal of domestic waste. Currently no effective options are available for control of houseflies outdoors, because many populations exhibit at least some resistance to all available synthetic pesticides. (Z)-9-tricosene is the only commer...
