Title: Changes to diazinon resistance frequency in the Australian sheep blowfly, 'Lucilia cuprina' (Wiedemann) following laboratory selection with insecticides
Abstract:Populations of susceptible (+/+) or organophosphate (OP) resistant (2R/+; R/R) 'Lucilia cuprina' were selected each generation by exposure of larvae to diazinon, propetamphos, butacarb or deltamethrin...Populations of susceptible (+/+) or organophosphate (OP) resistant (2R/+; R/R) 'Lucilia cuprina' were selected each generation by exposure of larvae to diazinon, propetamphos, butacarb or deltamethrin. The groups responded to these treatments by becoming increasingly tolerant of the selecting insecticide. There was a corresponding increase in resistance to diazinon in the propetamphos and butacarb-selected groups, but not in the deltamethrin-selected population. When compared to trends in the untreated control group, there was a significant decline in the frequency of OP-susceptible adult blowflies in the diazinon-, propetamphos-, and butacarb-selected groups, but the susceptible genotype frequency remained unaffected in the deltamethrin-selected population. These results have implications for how insecticide resistance management strategies for sheep ectoparasites should be developed.Read More
