Study of the resistance mechanisms of the insects to insecticides (using as an example natural populations of the housefly Musca domestica).

摘要

The insecticide resistance mechanisms of 18 natural populations of Musca domestica collected in the Moscow, Tversk and Pskov regions of Russia, and also in Egypt, and of 3 laboratory races, were studied. High levels of resistance to organophosphorusinsecticides and pyrethroids were caused by high activity of detoxifying enzymes (non-specific esterases, monooxygenases and glutathione-S-transferase) and in a number of cases resistance in esterases (including cholinesterases) was observed.
