Field Survey of Insecticide Resistance in Haematobia irritans exigua de Meijere (Diptera: Muscidae)

A survey of farms in northern New South Wales and southeastern, central, western and northern Queensland was conducted to determine levels of insecticide resistance in populations of buffalo fly Haematobia irritans exigua. A field bioassay using discriminating concentrations of 10 insecticides commonly used for buffalo fly control was used. Resistance to all synthetic pyrethroids tested (cypermethrin, deltamethrin, cyhalothrin, flumethrin and cyfluthrin) was common and widespread in coastal zones, but was lower in inland zones. In contrast, there was no resistance to the organophosphate diazinon and only low levels of resistance to ethion and chlorfenvinfos. Synergism between piperonyl butoxide and cypermethrin was demonstrated.     

Potentiation/Antagonism of pyrethroids with organophosphate insecticides in Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)

The binary mixtures of pyrethroids cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, zeta-cypermethrin, bifenthrin, fenpropathrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, and deltamethrin plus organophosphates ethion, profenofos, chlorpyrifos, quinalphos, acephate, methamidophos, methyl parathion, and triazophos were evaluated on putatively resistant field populations of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) from Pakistan using a leaf-dip bioassay. Ethion exhibited good potentiation with all the pyrethroids. Quinalphos potentiated cypermethrin, fenpropathrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin but not bifenthrin. Acephate was potentiating with bifenthrin and fenpropathrin but antagonistic with zeta-cypermethrin. A potentiation effect was also found when methamidophos was mixed with bifenthrin and fenpropathrin. However, profenofos was antagonistic with cypermethrin, bifenthrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin. Similarly, bifenthrin + methyl parathion and deltamethrin + triazophos mixtures were antagonistic when tested on several populations of B. tabaci. Chlorpyrifos was antagonistic with cypermethrin but had an additive effect with fenpropathrin.     

Evidence for resistance to pyrethroids and organophosphates in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) from Pakistan

The susceptibility of representative pyrethroid (cypermethrin, deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, bifenthrin), organophosphate (chlorpyriphos, triazophos, profenophos) and new chemistry insecticides (spinosad, indoxacarb and emamectin) was investigated for 18 field populations of Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) from three different zones in Pakistan. The LC(50) (mg ml(-1); 48 h) values of pyrethroids for various populations ranged from 0.19-1.88 for cypermethrin, 0.31-2.64 for deltamethrin, 0.08-1.16 for lambdacyhalothrin and 0.07-0.88 for bifenthrin. The LC(50) (mg ml(-1); 48 h) of organophosphates ranged from 0.52-5.67 for chlorpyriphos, 0.37-4.14 for triazophos and 0.03-2.65 for profenophos. The most probable reason for low toxicity of organophosphates and pyrethroids is the evolution of multiple resistance mechanisms; however, further studies are required to establish these mechanisms. When these same products were tested against a susceptible laboratory population (Lab-Pak), the new chemistry compounds were significantly more toxic than pyrethroids and organophosphates. The results are discussed in relation to integrated pest management and insecticide resistance management strategies for P. xylostella.     

Evaluation of resistance to different insecticides in field strains of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Punjab, Pakistan

Susceptibility of field populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Punjab, Pakistan to selected insecticides was evaluated using the leaf dip method. The resistance factors varied between populations. The general trends were low to moderate resistance to endosulfan; very low to low resistance to chlorpyrifos and profenofos; very low resistance to spinosad, indoxacarb and thiodicarb; moderate to high resistance to bifenthrin; high to very high resistance to cypermethrin; and very high resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin. Integrated pest management strategies aimed at reducing pesticide application, such as rotating the conventional insecticides having low resistance with newly developed synthetic insecticides and conserving natural enemies, are recommended.     

Generating susceptible strain and resistance status of field populations of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) against some conventional and new chemistry insecticides in Pakistan

Two field populations of Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Dera Ghazi Khan (D. G. Khan) and Multan, Pakistan, were tested for resistance to the 10 most commonly used insecticides in Pakistan by using a standard leaf disc bioassay on the F1 progeny. For comparison, a susceptible strain was generated from the Multan strain, which displayed lower LC50 values for most of the insecticides, by either mass rearing without exposure to insecticides or single-pair crosses against selected insecticides. The single-pair crosses generated a more susceptible strain than mass rearing. The D. G. Khan field strain was highly resistant to cypermethrin, profenofos, spinosad, abamectin, and chlorpyrifos and moderately resistant to deltamethrin, indoxacarb, and methoxyfenozide compared with susceptible lab strain. The Multan strain was highly resistant to profenofos and indoxacarb. Both field populations were susceptible to emamectin benzoate and lufenuron. Rotating these two insecticides with others that show very low, low, or moderate levels of resistance and have different modes of action may be useful for the effective management of this pest.     

Seasonal changes of methamidophos susceptibility and biochemical properties in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) and its parasitoid Cotesia plutellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Methamidophos resistance and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) insensitivity to methamidophos, dichlorvos, and carbofuran were determined in the field populations of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) and its parasitoid Cotesia plutellae Kurdjumov (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) collected from the corresponding hosts between October 1998 and December 2003 in Fuzhou and Minhou, Fijian, China. Resistance levels to methamidophos and AChE insensitivity to the three insecticides in the two species of insects were high during autumn and spring and low during summer. Resistance to methamidophos was 15.3- and 12.6-fold higher in resistant F0 parents of P. xylostella and C. plutellae than in their susceptible F11 progeny, respectively. The bimolecular rate constant (k(i)) values of AChE to methamidophos, dichlorvos, and carbofuran were 4.6-, 6.3-, and 7.7-fold higher in F11 progeny of P. xylostella, and 3.7-, 4.5-, and 3.7-fold higher in F11 progeny of C. plutellae than those in their F0 parents, respectively. Compared with susceptible F11 progeny, the resistance ratios for methamidophos were 4.2-29.8 and 3.8-13.1 in 21 field populations of P. xylostella and C. plutellae, respectively. The k(i) values of AChE to methamidophos, dichlorvos, and carbofuran were 2.0-21.6-, 3.6-9.5-, and 2.6-9.2-fold higher in F11 progeny of P. xylostella, and 1.8-7.6-, 1.9-4.6-, and 2.2-7.6-fold higher in F11 progeny of C. plutellae than those in 21 field populations, respectively. Significant correlative variations of methamidophos resistance as well as significant correlative variations of k(i) values of AChE to insecticides between the two species of insects also were found in space and time. The k(i) values of AChE to insecticides in C. plutellae were far higher than those in P. xylostella. There were no obvious differences in the Km and Vmax of AChE between F0 parents and F11 progeny of P. xylostella and C. plutellae, respectively. But carboxylesterase activity was 1.6-fold higher in F0 parents of C. plutellae than in F11 progeny, and glutathione S-transferase activity was 1.5-fold higher in F0 parents of P. xylostella than in F11 progeny. The results suggested that the AChE insensitivity to insecticides might play the most important role in methamidophos resistance in the two species of insects. From these results, a spatial and temporal correlative evolution of methamidophos resistance and insensitive AChE was found to exist between P. xylostella and C. plutellae.     

烟粉虱田间种群的抗药性

采用成虫浸叶生测法分别测定了福建省福州、漳州、龙岩、三明、南平、宁德等地烟粉虱田间种群对13种杀虫剂的抗性.结果表明,福建省6个烟粉虱田间种群对氯氟氰菊酯、甲氰菊酯、氯氰菊酯、溴氰菊酯、乙酰甲胺磷、毒死蜱产生了高水平抗性,抗性倍数分别达838.38～2460.52、244.64～834.29、116.02～266.35、81.75～124.18、425.18～875.56和54.53～78.43倍,对乐果产生了中等水平抗性,抗性倍数达14.16～17.66倍,对敌敌畏产生了中等偏低水平的抗性,抗性倍数达6.23～11.25倍,对灭多威的抗性水平较低,抗性倍数仅为4.07～5.66倍.漳州种群已对烟碱类杀虫剂产生了中等水平抗性,对吡虫啉、啶虫脒和噻虫嗪的抗性倍数分别达23.08、10.32和24.60倍,而其它地区烟粉虱种群对吡虫啉、啶虫脒和噻虫嗪的抗性水平较低,甚至不明显,抗性倍数分别仅为1.31～3.28、1.82～7.23和1.39～5.45倍.福建省各地区烟粉虱种群对阿维菌素尚未产生明显的抗药性.     

Resistance to selected organochlorin, organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid, in Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Pakistan

The toxicity of the most commonly used insecticides of organochlorine, organophosphate, pyrethroid, and carbamate groups were investigated against Spodoptera litura (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) populations collected for three consecutive years (2004-2006). For a chlorocyclodiene and pyrethroids tested, the resistance ratios compared with Lab-PK were in the range of 10- to 92-fold for endosulfan, 5- to 111-fold for cypermethrin, 2- to 98-fold for deltamethrin, and 7- to 86-fold for beta-cyfluthrin. For organophosphates and carbamates, resistance ratios were in the range of 3- to 169-fold for profenofos, 18- to 421-fold for chlorpyrifos, 3- to 160-fold for quinalphos, 6- to 126-fold for phoxim, 7- to 463-fold for triazophos, and 10- to 389-fold for methomyl and 16- to 200-fold for thiodicarb. Resistance ratios were generally low to medium for deltamethrin and beta-cyfluthrin and high to very high for endosulfan, cypermethrin, profenofos, chlorpyrifos, quinalphos, phoxim, triazophos, methomyl, or thiodicarb. Pairwise comparisons of the log LC50 values of insecticides tested for all the populations showed correlations among several insecticides, suggesting a cross-resistance mechanism. Integration of timely judgment of pest problem, delimiting growing of alternate crops such as arum, rotation of insecticides with new chemicals, and insect growth regulators in relation to integrated pest management could help in manageable control of this important pest.     

江苏Q型烟粉虱抗性监测及其靶标基因克隆

应用成虫浸叶生测法研究了江苏省扬州、无锡和东台3个地区Q型烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius)田间种群对5种杀虫剂的抗药性。结果表明,与相对敏感种群相比,Q型烟粉虱田间种群已对氯氰菊酯和吡虫啉产生了低到中等水平抗性,对阿维菌素仍然表现敏感。进一步通过RCR扩增获得了长度分别为287bp和184bp的烟粉虱乙酰胆碱酯酶ace1和para-同源钠离子通道基因片断。序列分析表明,江苏Q型烟粉虱存在与有机磷抗性相关的乙酰胆碱酯酶F331W突变和与拟除虫菊酯抗性相关的钠离子通道L925I和T929V突变。     

棉铃虫抗药性监测方法——浸叶法敏感毒力基线的建立及其应用

通过室内饲养的2个棉铃虫敏感品系,用浸叶法建立了11种常用药剂 (氯氰菊酯、溴氰菊酯、功夫菊酯、氰戊菊酯、久效磷、辛硫磷、甲基对硫磷、毒死蜱、灭多威、硫双灭多威、硫丹) 的敏感毒力基线,确定了它们的LC₅₀值和区分剂量。并用浸叶法监测了江苏、山东、河南、安徽4省棉田2代棉铃虫对氯氰菊酯、久效磷、灭多威和辛硫磷的抗性,结果表明用区分剂量监测抗性个体频率既快速简便,又适宜于进行早期抗性检测,因此这4种药剂的区分剂量可以推广应用于棉铃虫田间抗药性监测。     

小菜蛾有机磷抗性季节性变化及毒理机制研究

1998～ 2 0 0 3年期间的田间监测结果显示 ,福州地区小菜蛾 Plutella xylostella对甲胺磷和敌敌畏的抗性水平呈季节性变化 ,每年春秋季的抗性水平显著高于夏季 7月期间的抗性水平。与 2 5℃ 2 d的饲养条件相比 ,35℃ 2 d和 5℃ 30 d可使小菜蛾羧酸酯酶 (Car E)和谷胱甘肽 - S-转移酶 (GST)活力显著抑制 ,35℃ 2 d还可使小菜蛾乙酰胆碱酯酶 (ACh E)活力显著抑制 ,但 5℃4 d对小菜蛾 ACh E、Car E和 GST活力影响差异不显著。当反应温度均为 2 5℃时 ,在 35℃ 2 d、2 5℃ 2 d和 5℃ 30 d下饲养的小菜蛾 ACh E对甲胺磷和克百威的敏感性 (K i值 )没有明显变化 ,但酶与杀虫剂在 37℃的反应温度下 ,甲胺磷、敌敌畏和克百威对在 2 5℃下饲养的小菜蛾 ACh E的抑制作用显著增高。上述结果表明环境温度会影响小菜蛾的解毒代谢及杀虫剂对 ACh E的抑制作用。探讨了环境温度的季节性变化对田间小菜蛾有机磷抗性水平影响的毒理学机制。     

Prevalence and stability of insecticide resistances in field population of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Huizhou,Guangdong Province,China

The field population of Spodoptera litura from Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China was evaluated for resistance to 21 insecticides, including conventional and new chemistry insecticides. Extreme levels of resistance were observed to metaflumizone and emamectin benzoate with resistance factors of 234.1 and 183.3, respectively. Resistance to abamectin was also high (perhaps extremely high) and over 71.9-fold. The Huizhou population of S. litura possessed high resistance to deltamethrin (96.5-fold) and moderate resistance to beta cyfluthrin and lambda cyhalothrin but remained susceptible to bifenthrin. Moderate resistance to chlorantraniliprole (22.3-fold), endosulfan (22.2-fold), tebufenozide (10.7-fold) and thiodicarb (14.3-fold), and low-level resistance to fipronil, indoxacarb and spinosad were also reported in this population. This field population remained susceptible to acetamiprid, chlorfenapyr, chlorfluazuron, hexaflumuron, chlorpyrifos, pyridalyl and spinetoram. The stabilities of resistance to metaflumizone, emamectin benzoate, deltamethrin, chlorantraniliprole and endosulfan were evaluated, the resistance level decreased when the insecticide stress was removed, suggesting stop of the application of insecticides with high level resistance could be implemented into the resistance management. Because S. litura from Huizhou developed resistance to multiple insecticides, integration of different control practices, especially the rotation of insecticides with biocontrol agents, should be performed in the management of this pest. The results suggested the suspension of the application of insecticide to which S. litura had developed high level of resistance in order to mitigate the resistance status, and the use of the insecticides to which this pest remained sensitive, including spinetoram, pyridalyl, indoxacarb, hexaflumuron, chlorfluazuron, chlorfenapyr and bifenthrin, could be incorporated into the alternating application for resistance management.     

不同地理种群小菜蛾对甲胺磷的抗药性

采用浸叶法研究了福州建新镇、福建农林大学校园内、闽侯县上街镇和闽侯县甘蔗镇等地田间小菜蛾种群对甲胺磷的抗性水平及抗性机制。结果表明,与敏感小菜蛾相比,上述4个田间小菜蛾种群已对甲胺磷产生了34-82倍的抗性水平。敏感小菜蛾乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)的Ki值是田间抗性小菜蛾AChE的Ki值的17.3-39.1倍。不同小菜蛾种群对甲胺磷的抗性水平也存在着差异,小菜蛾种群AChE对甲胺磷的敏感性大小与其对甲胺磷的抗性水平高低显著相关。     

Organophosphorus insecticides synergize pyrethroids in the resistant strain of cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from West Africa

Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) populations from West Africa recently developed resistance to pyrethroid insecticides through enhanced metabolism by mixed-function oxidases. The combination index method was used to study the synergism of pyrethroids by organophosphorus insecticides. Several mixtures of insecticides currently registered to control cotton pest complex in West Africa were tested, including: cypermethrin/ethion, cypermethrin/profenofos, deltamethrin/ triazophos, deltamethrin/chlorpyriphos, cyfluthrin/chlorpyriphos, and betacyfluthrin/chlorpyriphos. In the resistant strain, the organophosphorus insecticides significantly increased the toxicity of pyrethroids suppressing the resistance effect, either by additive or synergistic effects. Significant synergism was shown for the following mixtures: cypermethrin/ethion, deltamethrin/triazophos, and deltamethrin/chlorpyriphos. The use of synergism from these insecticide mixtures should prove to be an additional tool in the overall resistance management strategy because the pyrethroid resistance in H. armigera from West Africa is not yet stable, decreasing between cotton seasons and increasing with treatments. In absence of selection, the susceptibility of H. armigera to insecticides should be restored.     

菜蚜茧蜂对六种杀虫剂抗药性的季节性变化

采用药膜法研究了福州建新和闽侯上街菜蚜茧蜂Diaeretiella rapae对杀虫剂抗药性的季节性变化。田间菜蚜茧蜂种群在网室内脱离选择压力后对杀虫剂敏感性显著升高。与敏感的F₂₁子代的LC₅₀相比,2002年6月8日至2004年11月18日期间,建新菜区菜蚜茧蜂对甲胺磷、氟虫腈、阿维菌素、氰戊菊酯和吡虫啉的抗性倍数分别为11.8～31.2,9.3～14.7,9.3～35.7,7.0～16.6,和13.3～30.1倍;2003年6月5日至2004年12月17日期间,上街菜区菜蚜茧蜂对甲胺磷、氟虫腈、阿维菌素、氰戊菊酯和吡虫啉的抗性倍数分别为7.5～34.9,4.0～14.3,9.2～38.6,7.8～18.9和12.1～24.2倍。田间菜蚜茧蜂种群在5月份和6月初抗性水平最高,12月份较低,6月末最低,尤其在6月份期间20天内抗性水平急剧下降。研究结果表明,田间菜蚜茧蜂对6种杀虫剂的抗性水平在脱离选择压力后不稳定,且呈显著的季节性变化。表2参25

Monitoring and selection of resistance to pyrethroids in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

Field and laboratory populations of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Calliphoridae), were surveyed by bioassay for possible resistance to the synthetic pyrethroids, a group of insecticides under development for blowfly control. A normal distribution of LC50 values was found using deltamethrin, the test pyrethroid, with no indication of specific resistance despite widespread use of deltamethrin on sheep to control the sheep body louse, Damalinia ovis (Schrank) (Trichodectidae). There was no cross-resistance to deltamethrin from existing organophosphate (OP) resistance nor from previous use of DDT. Selection with deltamethrin on a combined field strain, CSF85, increased the LC50 gradually over the first twenty generations until it stabilized at approximately 25x that of the unselected CSF85. This laboratory-induced resistance extended to other pyrethroids, cypermethrin (16x), cyhalothrin (25x) and cycloprothrin (10x), and increased the existing resistance of CFS85 to the OP diazinon (11x) and the carbamate, butacarb (83x).     

新疆石河子和博州地区马铃薯甲虫抗药性检测

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say)在新疆北部的危害逐年加重。本文采用点滴法检测了石河子、博州和昌吉3个地区4个马铃薯甲虫田间种群对有机磷、氨基甲酸酯、拟除虫菊酯、新烟碱类等15种杀虫药剂的抗性水平。结果表明,所检测的沙湾、玛纳斯、博乐和奇台4个马铃薯田间种群对拟除虫菊酯类高效氯氟氰菊酯和溴氰菊酯产生了11～155倍的抗性,博乐种群对高效氯氰菊酯抗性为27倍;4个种群对氨基酸酯类的丁硫克百威也产生了33～59倍的抗性。另外,对硫丹和阿维菌素也分别产生了11～23倍和4～7倍的抗性。但对水胺硫磷等4种有机磷和吡虫啉等3种新烟碱类杀虫药剂仍然比较敏感。研究结果为上述地区马铃薯甲虫的有效控制提供重要依据。     

甜菜夜蛾田间种群对甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐和高效氯氰菊酯的代谢抗性机制

甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua(Hübner)云南晋宁、上海奉贤和江苏六合种群对甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐抗性为45～437倍,对高效氯氰菊酯抗性为211～555倍,对其它药剂抗性不明显。这3个田间种群3龄幼虫多功能氧化酶、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶和酯酶的活力分别为室内敏感种群的2.7～8.4倍、1.9～8.6倍和1.6～5.7倍。多功能氧化酶抑制剂PBO和酯酶抑制剂DEF对甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐的增效比为1.2～4.3和1.3～7.7;PBO和DEF对高效氯氰菊酯的增效比为1.8～58和3.6～245;谷胱甘肽S-转移酶抑制剂DEM对这2种药剂均无增效作用。上述结果表明,解毒代谢增强可能是甜菜夜蛾田间种群对甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐和高效氯氰菊酯的重要抗性机理,与酯酶和多功能氧化酶活性升高有关,与谷胱甘肽S-转移酶活性升高无关。本文的研究结果还表明,对于代谢抗性机理复杂的多抗性田间种群,根据不同解毒酶抑制剂对药剂的增效作用判断不同解毒代谢酶在抗性形成中的作用更加可靠。     

新疆棉铃虫对溴氰菊酯和硫丹 抗性的生化机理研究

通过生物测定和生化分析研究了新疆棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)敏感种群和室内筛选获得的抗性种群对硫丹和溴氰菊酯的反应及其α-乙酸萘酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶的动态活性反应。结果表明,筛选后新疆棉铃虫对硫丹和溴氰菊酯产生的抗性倍数分别为13倍和66倍。两个抗性种群的α-乙酸萘酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶比活力均高于敏感种群。相应杀虫剂预处理后,α-乙酸萘酯酶酶活力受到抑制。抗性种群的α-乙酸萘酯酶对底物的亲和力高于敏感种群,但Vmax低于敏感种群。抗性种群的乙酰胆碱酯酶对底物的亲和力显著低于敏感种群,Vmax比敏感种群高。聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳显示,两个抗性种群都有一条特异性酶带,其迁移率相近,且均可被甲基对氧磷抑制。因此推测,α-乙酸萘酯酶参与了新疆棉铃虫对硫丹和溴氰菊酯的抗性,具有代谢和阻断作用;乙酰胆碱酯酶对抗性的产生也起到了重要作用。
