抗吡虫啉棉蚜种群对啶虫脒和噻虫胺的交互抗性及相关酶学机理

【目的】通过对乙酰胆碱受体β1亚基突变后的抗吡虫啉棉蚜Aphis gossypii (Glover)种群的继续筛选, 明确该种群的抗性发展规律以及对其他新烟碱类杀虫剂啶虫脒和噻虫胺的交互抗性及相关酶学机理。【方法】采用浸渍法连续对抗吡虫啉棉蚜进行室内筛选、 测定噻虫胺和啶虫脒对抗吡虫啉棉蚜种群的毒力; 选择LC₂₀剂量吡虫啉、 啶虫脒和噻虫胺处理抗性棉蚜, 采用生化分析法测定其体内羧酸酯酶、 谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性变化, 并观察其生物学特性的变化。【结果】本研究对抗性棉蚜突变种群用吡虫啉继续筛选至75代, 抗性倍数达到72.6倍, RF75停止用药筛选12代（RF₇₅₊₁₂）, 抗性仍达72.0倍。且RF₇₅₊₁₂对噻虫胺和啶虫脒的交互抗性可分别达11.9倍和20.1倍。噻虫胺对抗吡虫啉棉蚜的蜜露分泌和体重的抑制作用均大于吡虫啉和啶虫脒。噻虫胺对RF₇₅₊₁₂的羧酸酯酶、 谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶均具有明显的抑制作用, 而啶虫脒的抑制作用较小。【结论】结果表明乙酰胆碱受体基因突变棉蚜种群对吡虫啉的抗性水平不仅升高, 且停止用药后其抗性可稳定遗传; 第二代新烟碱类的噻虫胺在抗吡虫啉棉蚜靶标突变种群的治理中具有较大的应用价值。     

棉蚜啶虫脒抗性种群交互抗性和增效剂增效作用的研究

【目的】明确棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover啶虫脒抗性品系与其它杀虫剂的交互抗性现状以及增效剂的增效作用,为延缓和治理棉蚜对啶虫脒的抗性提供依据。【方法】采用单头反选育和群体汰选的方式,获得了棉蚜啶虫脒敏感和抗性品系;采用叶片药膜法测定了13种杀虫剂对啶虫脒的交互抗性以及增效剂对啶虫脒的增效作用。【结果】经过室内棉蚜敏感和抗性品系的筛选,获得了相对抗性倍数为82.33倍的棉蚜啶虫脒抗性品系。棉蚜啶虫脒抗性品系的交互抗性谱的研究表明,交互抗性倍数小于5的药剂为:吡蚜酮,甲基阿维菌素;交互抗性倍数在5~10倍的药剂为:噻虫嗪,联苯菊酯,毒死蜱,马拉硫磷,丙溴磷,辛硫磷;交互抗性倍数在10~15倍的药剂为:硫丹,阿维菌素,高效氯氰菊酯,三唑磷,氧化乐果;交互抗性倍数大于1 5倍的药剂为:吡虫啉。增效剂实验表明,TPP和PBO在啶虫脒敏感品系中增效作用不明显,但在抗性品系中增效作用显著。在啶虫脒抗性品系中的增效比为1.77、1.61,在啶虫脒敏感品系中的增效比为1.02、1.03。DEM在啶虫脒抗性、敏感品系中的增效作用均不明显,增效比为1.04、1.02。TPP和PBO对啶虫脒有很好的增效作用。以室内棉蚜敏感品系(LC_(50)为0.180 mg/L)为基础,对新疆各主要棉区的棉蚜种群进行了啶虫脒药剂的抗性调查,结果表明新疆各主要棉区棉蚜对啶虫脒的相对抗性倍数为6.1~22.0倍。【结论】由此说明新疆主要棉区棉蚜对啶虫脒具有一定的抗性风险,生产中可以利用无交互抗性的吡蚜酮和甲基阿维菌素来治理抗性棉蚜种群。     

甜菜夜蛾对虫酰肼的抗性选育、风险评估及交互抗性

虫酰肼是目前防治甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua（Hübner）的一种主要杀虫剂,为评估其抗性风险,在室内进行了抗性筛选和交互抗性的研究。采用饲料感染法,在甜菜夜蛾饲养75代期间用虫酰肼筛选62代,与起始种群相比抗性上升39.2倍,与室内敏感品系相比抗性上升141.3倍。在筛选的早、中、后期,现实遗传力h²分别为0.1075（F₀～F₂₅）、0.2780（F₂₆～F₅₀）和0.0538（F₅₁～F₇₅）,整个筛选62代现实遗传力为0.1556。抗性种群筛选43次（F55）后停止用药筛选,饲养21代后,与敏感品系相比,抗性水平由63.5倍下降到21倍,抗性下降3倍。说明甜菜夜蛾具有对虫酰肼产生抗性的风险,且抗性衰退缓慢,短期内很难恢复到敏感水平。交互抗性测定结果表明,上述室内选育的抗性品系对甲氧虫酰肼具有71.4倍的高水平交互抗性,对阿维菌素具有13.1倍的中等水平交互抗性,对甲维盐、茚虫威和呋喃虫酰肼分别具有7.0、8.4和4.7倍的低水平交互抗性,但对溴虫腈交互抗性不明显（1.9倍）。结果提示： 间断交替使用虫酰肼可以延缓抗性的发展,但除溴虫腈外,虫酰肼和其他几种新型杀虫剂之间的轮用可能不是甜菜夜蛾抗性治理的有效策略。     

橘全爪螨对双甲脒的抗性选育及其P450基因的表达差异分析

为了对双甲脒进行抗性风险评估, 弄清P450基因在橘全爪螨Panonychus citri抗药性中的作用, 在室内用双甲脒对橘全爪螨进行了抗性选育和交互抗性研究, 同时分析了橘全爪螨双甲脒抗性和敏感品系P450基因表达差异。经过12代抗性选育, 获得了橘全爪螨双甲脒抗性品系, 与敏感品系比较, 橘全爪螨对双甲脒的抗性倍数达到26.32倍。抗性风险评估表明, 橘全爪螨对双甲脒抗性遗传力h²为0.148。螺螨酯、 丁醚脲、 炔螨特和三唑锡对抗性品系的LC₅₀分别为敏感品系的16.85, 4.98, 2.13和2.05倍, 表明双甲脒抗性品系对螺螨酯、 丁醚脲、 炔螨特和三唑锡具有明显的交互抗性。阿维菌素、 苯丁锡、 哒螨灵、 矿物油对抗性品系LC₅₀分别为敏感品系的1.10, 1.21, 0.67和0.99倍, 表明双甲脒抗性品系对上述4种药剂没有显著的交互抗性。基因差异性分析发现, 抗性品系中有16条P450基因发生了上调, 27条P450基因发生了下调, 其中CYP389A6上调倍数最高［log₂ratio (RS/SS)=11.526］, CYP389A2下调倍数最高［log2ratio(RS/SS) =-12.683］, 由此推断, CYP389A6上调和CYP389A2下调可能是橘全爪螨对双甲脒产生抗性的重要原因。     

棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯抗性和敏感品系的选育

用氰戊菊酯对来自阳谷的棉铃虫(YG)Heliothis armigera(Hubncr) 进行抗性晶系的筛选。在15代期间经过9代的室内选育,获得抗性品系(Fcn-R),抗性倍数高达2“3倍,筛选后F₁₅代LD₅₀值(24.1412μg/头)比筛选前F1代lD₅₀值(0.2020μg/头)提高了119.5倍。对来自偃师的棉铃虫(YS)进行了连续两代单对筛选,得到敏感品系(Fen-S),敏感晶系的LD50值为0.0116μg/头,接近1983年东台敏感晶系的LD₅₀值(0.0098μg/头)Fcn-R抗性晶系筛选前后分别测定了七种杀虫剂的剂量-死亡回归线,发现Fen-R抗性品系对溴氰菊酯[LD₅₀(Fen-R)/LD₅₀(YG)=5.2X] 和氯氰菊酯(2.5X)具有一定程度的交互抗性;而对功夫菊酯(0.66X),氯菊酯(0.89x)、灭多威(0.74X)及久效磷(1.5x)没有交互抗性。氰戊菊酯加Pb的增效试验结果表明棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯的抗性主要是由于多功能氧化酶的代谢作用。毒理学资料还暗示抗性为多因子(基因)的。     

桔小实蝇对多杀霉素的抗药性风险评估

桔小实蝇Bactrocera doralis (Hendel)是华南地区果蔬重要害虫,近年来危害严重,对农业造成巨大的经济损失.本研究采用阈性状分析方法,对桔小实蝇敏感品系对多杀霉素抗性进行选育,计算了桔小实蝇对多杀霉素的抗性现实遗传力,评估了抗药性产生的风险.结果表明:经过16代选育,桔小实蝇对多杀霉素抗性增加了7.05倍(LC50从0.60 mg/L增加到4.23 mg/L),现实遗传力为0.1774.结果显示桔小实蝇对多杀霉素抗性发展较慢.     

不同浓度噻虫嗪对点蜂缘蝽种群的跨代效应

【目的】为探明不同浓度噻虫嗪对点蜂缘蝽Riptortus pedestris种群的跨代效应。【方法】点蜂缘蝽3龄若虫用不同浓度[LC₁₀(5.2 mg/L), LC₂₀(11.2 mg/L), LC₃₀(19.6 mg/L), LC₄₀(31.6 mg/L)和LC₅₀(49.4 mg/L)]噻虫嗪药液浸渍处理的大豆籽粒喂食24 h,存活若虫继续饲养至成虫羽化,继续繁殖建立其F₁代种群,并系统记录其F₁代种群的生长发育和繁殖情况,采用年龄-龄期两性生命表分析F₁代种群生物学参数。【结果】点蜂缘蝽3龄若虫取食不同浓度噻虫嗪处理的大豆籽粒后,其F₁代种群的发育历期和产卵前期均有所延长,其中LC₅₀噻虫嗪处理卵历期和若虫历期最长,较对照(清水)的分别延长了1.01和8.39 d; LC₂₀噻虫嗪处理成虫产卵前期最长,较对照的延长了3.54 d。噻虫嗪处理不...     

棉蚜抗吡虫啉品系和敏感品系主要解毒酶活性比较

通过生物测定和生物化学方法比较了棉蚜 Aphis gossypii 对吡虫啉抗性（约为7倍）和敏感品系几种主要解毒酶的活性。结果表明：氧化胡椒基丁醚对两个品系均无明显增效作用。抗性品系中羧酸酯酶和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶的比活力均明显高于敏感品系,抗性品系中羧酸酯酶的K_m值也显著高于敏感品系,说明抗性品系羧酸酯酶与底物的亲和力明显高于敏感品系。上述结果证明羧酸酯酶和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶活力增强在棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性中起重要作用。     

氰氟虫腙对小菜蛾阿维菌素抗性和敏感种群的亚致死效应(英文)

在实验室条件下采用生命表技术研究了氰氟虫腙亚致死剂量（LC₂₅）对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella阿维菌素抗性（AV-R）和敏感（AV-S）种群的亚致死效应, 旨在为小菜蛾对阿维菌素的抗性治理提供理论基础。结果表明： 氰氟虫腙对小菜蛾3龄幼虫抗性种群的LC₅₀和LC₂₅分别为0.24 mg/L和0.09 mg/L; 对敏感种群的LC₅₀和LC₂₅分别为0.20 mg/L和0.07 mg/L。氰氟虫腙亚致死剂量0.09 mg/L 处理小菜蛾后, 对处理代的影响表现为显著降低处理种群的化蛹率、 蛹重、 羽化率、 繁殖力; 明显延长蛹期, 缩短成虫产卵期和寿命; 对子代种群的影响表现为显著降低卵的孵化率、 幼虫各龄期的存活率, 延长发育历期。处理种群的内禀增长率（r_m）、 周限增长率（λ）和净增值率（R₀）显著低于对照种群（P<0.0001）。亚致死剂量的氰氟虫腙对小菜蛾抗性种群的影响大于敏感种群, 对处理代种群的影响大于子代种群。氰氟虫腙亚致死剂量可以极大地影响小菜蛾尤其是阿维菌素抗性种群的种群动态, 因此氰氟虫腙对于小菜蛾的抗性治理具有积极的作用。     

淡色库蚊对敌百虫的抗药性研究——抗性谱及联合作用

1973年采集于上海闸北区的淡色库蚊幼虫在室内以敌百虫选育抗性品系(RD品系)获得成功,F₁₂代的LC₅₀已为室内正常品系(SEN)的240多倍。RD品系的抗性谱表明,对有机磷杀虫剂均具有不同程度的交互抗性;对有机氯如DDT、丙体666和氨基甲酸酯类等杀虫剂无明显的交互抗性;对天然除虫菊和拟除虫菊酯类有低度的负交互抗性。并测定了29种药剂与敌百虫混用对RD品系和SEN品系的增效作用。还测定了对敌百虫有较高交互抗性的杀虫剂分别与TPP,TOCP、稻瘟净、异稻瘟净和增效醚混用后的增效作用。     

Genetics of resistance to Cry1C toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis in Spodoptera litura (Fab.)

The present study was undertaken to determine the genetics of Cry1C resistance in Spodoptera litura. Selection of S. litura (Fab.) with Cry1C was done for eight generations to develop resistance. Reciprocal crosses between resistant and susceptible populations were made to understand the population genetics of Cry1C resistance in S. litura. Generation wise selection with Cry1C was evaluated for resistance development in S. litura. The LC₅₀ of Cry1C was 0.14 µg/cm² for the first selected generation and it increased to 23.98 µg/cm² after eight selected generations, which is a 285.47-fold increase in resistance compared with the susceptible strain. The estimated realized heritability (h²) after eight generations of selection with Cry1C insecticidal protein was 0.44. The number of generations required for the tenfold increase in LC₅₀ (1/R) was estimated to be 3.33. Response to Cry1C selection in S. litura was 0.30, the estimated selection differential was 0.69 and the pheonotypic standard deviation (dP) was 0.24. Reciprocal crosses between Cry1C resistant and susceptible strain of S. litura showed autosomal resistance.     

我国棉花主产区棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性监测及抗性机理

【目的】由于生长周期短、繁殖率高,棉蚜Aphis gossypii容易对杀虫剂产生抗药性。本研究旨在明确我国棉花主产区棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性水平及抗性机理。【方法】采用浸叶法测定了北京海淀,河北廊坊和邯郸,山东德州,河南许昌,以及新疆奎屯和阿克苏地区棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性水平;测定了不同种群棉蚜3种解毒酶（多功能氧化酶、羧酸酯酶、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶）及乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性;并对靶标基因烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体（nAChR）β1亚基基因进行了突变检测。【结果】北京海淀、河南许昌和河北邯郸的棉蚜对吡虫啉敏感;河北廊坊、新疆阿克苏、山东德州及新疆奎屯地区的棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性倍数(resistance ratio, RR)分别为22.6, 26.3,53.5和61.1倍,为中等水平抗性。酶活力对比研究发现,阿克苏和奎屯地区的棉蚜多功能氧化酶的比活力分别是敏感种群(北京种群)的1.7和1.8倍,羧酸酯酶的比活力分别是敏感种群的1.6和1.7倍,谷胱甘肽S-转移酶的比活力均是敏感种群的1.5倍,但是乙酰胆碱酯酶比活力在棉蚜种群间差异不显著。靶标基因突变检测表明,河北廊坊、新疆阿克苏、山东德州及新疆奎屯棉蚜种群nAChR β1亚基均存在与吡虫啉抗性相关的精氨酸到苏氨酸（R81T）突变。【结论】结果提示,多功能氧化酶、羧酸酯酶和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶活力升高以及nAChR β1亚基R81T突变与棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性形成相关。     

Realized heritability of resistance to dicrotophos in greenhouse whitefly

Realized heritability (h ²) of resistance to dicrotophos in greenhouse whitefly,Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood, was estimated from a laboratory selection experiment. Five generations of selection increased the LC₅₀ approximately 13-fold. Estimatedh ² of resistance to dicrotophos was 0.40 when calculated with the method of Tabashnik (1992) and 0.35 with the method of Tanaka & Noppun (1989). These results suggest that 35 to 40% of the total phenotypic variation in resistance was caused by additive genetic variation. For thirteen previously reported estimates ofh ² of insecticide resistance in other insect pests, the mean was 0.29. The relatively highh ² of dicrotophos resistance forT. vaporariorum is consistent with rapid resistance development in field populations.     

华北棉区主要害虫抗药性监测与治理技术示范

【目的】华北地区转基因Bt棉大面积种植后,刺吸式口器害虫已成为棉花主要害虫。本研究旨在监测明确棉花主要害虫对田间常用杀虫剂抗性水平变化,以指导田间合理用药。【方法】2013-2015年分别采用叶片药膜法和点滴法系统监测了河北省邱县、山东省滨州市、河南省西华县棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera、棉蚜Aphis gossypii、绿盲蝽Apolygus lucorum对常用杀虫药剂的抗性动态变化情况。【结果】棉铃虫对辛硫磷、高效氯氟氰菊酯抗性呈上升趋势,抗性倍数都在20倍以上,对甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐从敏感状态转为中等水平抗性,抗性倍数在10倍以上。棉蚜对杀虫剂抗性水平都比较高,特别是对氧化乐果、高效氯氰菊酯、吡虫啉都已产生了高水平抗性,抗性倍数都在100倍以上。绿盲蝽对吡虫啉从敏感状态转为中等水平抗性,抗性倍数在10倍以上,对马拉硫磷、灭多威等药剂抗性倍数还维持在10倍以下,对高效氯氟氰菊酯只监测到滨州种群产生了中等水平的抗性,抗性倍数达到了95倍。在明确棉花害虫抗药性水平的基础上,对山东滨州棉花害虫实施了以轮换用药为主的抗性治理示范,示范区比农户自防对照区减少3次用药,增加棉花产量7.53%,节本增收109.16元,取得了较好的示范效果和经济效益。【结论】当前华北棉区主要害虫抗性水平上升,急需开展以轮换用药为主的抗性治理措施。     

Resistance of aphis gossypii (Homoptera: Aphididae) to fenvalerate and imidacloprid and activities of detoxification enzymes on cotton and cucumber

Resistance of two strains of cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, to fenvalerate and imidacloprid were determined on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativa L.) after resistance selection of one strain to fenvalerate for 16 consecutive generations, and of a second strain to imidacloprid for 12 consecutive generations on cotton in greenhouses. Dose-response and activities of detoxication enzymes of the fenvalerate-resistant strain (R-fenvalerate), the imidacloprid-resistant strain (R-imidacloprid), and a susceptible strain (S) were determined. After 16 consecutive generations of selection, resistance of A. gossypii to fenvalerate increased >29,000-fold and to imidacloprid 8.1-fold. On cucumber. resistance of the R-fenvalerate strain to fenvalerate increased 700-fold and to imidacloprid 3.6-fold. However, the most significant finding in this study was that the R-imidacloprid strain exhibited cross-resistance to fenvalerate, with a resistance ratio of 108.9-fold on cotton and 3:3.5-fold on cucumber, whereas the R-fenvalerate strain did not show significant cross-resistance to imidacloprid on either plant species. Both resistant strains of A. gossypii were more resistant to fenvalerate on cotton than on cucumber, whereas their susceptibility to imidacloprid on otton and cucumber were not significantly different. The response of the S strain to fenvalerate and imidacloprid were similar on cotton and Cucumber. Activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and alpha-naphthylacetate (alpha-NA) esterases of A. gossypii were significantly different among the three strains, with the R-fenvalerate strains having the highest, followed by the R-imidacloprid strain, and the S strain the lowest. The activities of the AChE and alpha-NA esterases for all three strains were also significantly higher on cotton than on cucumber. The resistance mechanism and resistance management strategies for the R-fenvalerate and R-imidacloprid strains of A. gossypii to fenvalerate and imidacloprid on cotton and cucumber are discussed.     

印度藏茴香植物精油对温室棉蚜的熏蒸毒性及其成分分析（英文）

【目的】棉蚜Aphis gossypii是世界各地室内和室外果树、蔬菜和观赏植物上最具危害性的害虫之一。这一害虫取食植物汁液,产生蜜露,传播植物病毒,对植物从质和量上产生破坏。为了控制温室中的这一害虫,植物精油可用作化学农药的替代药物。本实验研究了印度藏茴香Carum copticum植物精油对棉蚜成虫的熏蒸毒性。【方法】将研磨的印度藏茴香干种子用改良的挥发油提取器(Clevenger-type apparatus)进行水蒸馏。所有生物测定均在27±2℃,相对湿度65%±5%和光周期16L∶8D条件下进行。研究采用完全随机设计,6个处理(5个不同浓度的精油加对照)。每一浓度3次重复,每一重复20头成虫。【结果】结果表明,棉蚜成蚜接触印度藏茴香精油24 h后出现明显的死亡。该精油对棉蚜成蚜的致死中浓度(LC50)为1.21μL/L空气。棉蚜成蚜的死亡百分率对精油的施用表现出较高的敏感性。精油浓度为1.21μL/L空气时,估计的棉蚜的致死中时(LT50)为11.79 h。这一精油的熏蒸毒性与浓度和接触时间之间具有一定的相关性。GC/MS组分分析结果表明,该精油由18种化合物组成,最重要的是一些化合物引起了熏蒸毒性,如麝香草酚(占50.07%)、γ-萜品烯(占23.99%)和对异丙基苯甲烷(占22.90%)。【结论】本研究结果表明印度藏茴香植物精油对棉蚜具有较好的杀虫效果。印度藏茴香精油对棉蚜产生较大的影响,由于它具有较高的熏蒸毒性潜力,因此可在温室中用于这一害虫的综合治理。     

Assessing the resistance risk to emamectin benzoate in Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae): selection,cross-resistance dynamics and estimates of realized heritability

Emamectin benzoate, a non-systemic, translaminar, and broad spectrum insecticide, is excessively used in cotton. It kills the pest by suppressing the muscle contraction. Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is one of the major sap sucking pests of cotton in many countries and has been shown resistance to various insecticides. In this study, we have continuously selected P. solenopsis with emamectin benzoate in the laboratory from G₃ to G₁₈ to determine the resistance development and resistance risk to emamectin benzoate and also to evaluate the dynamics of cross-resistance (CR) development with three other insecticides. After continuing selection of P. solenopsis for 16 generations with emamectin benzoate, the emamectin selected strain (Ema-SEL) developed a 280.15-fold resistance when tested at G₁₉. Ema-SEL strain showed no CR to abamectin (0.28–1.65-fold), and profenofos (0.12–0.29-fold), but a very low to low CR to cypermethrin (6.02–11.29-fold). Abamectin was negatively cross-resistant with emamectin benzoate in Ema-SEL strain at G₁₃, G₁₅ and G₁₉ while profenofos also exhibited similar results at G₁₃, G₁₅, G₁₇ and G₁₉. Realized heritability (h²) of resistance to emamectin benzoate was 0.24 from G₃ to G₁₉. The results of projected rate of resistance development showed that if h² = 0.24, 0.34, and 0.44 at slope = 1.08, then 2.03, 1.43, and 1.11 generations, respectively are required for tenfold increase in LC₅₀ at 95 % selection intensity. Results of the present study suggested that P. solenopsis has the ability to develop resistance to emamectin benzoate but it can be managed by the alternate use of other insecticides including abamectin, profenofos and cypermethrin due to lack of/or very low to low CR with these insecticides.     

Dynamics of imidacloprid resistance and cross-resistance in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

Extensive use of imidacloprid for suppressing the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Homoptera: Delphacidae), has placed heavy selection pressure on the target insect. A systematic study was carried out to determine imidacloprid resistance dynamics and cross-resistance. Data collected from a 3-year study (2005–2007) showed that in 2005, the resistance levels in Nanning (Guangxi), Haiyan (Zhejiang), and Nanjing and Tongzhou (Jiangsu) populations ranged from 200- to 799-fold compared with the susceptible strain. However, the resistance levels decreased to 135- to 233-fold in 2007, after reduced application of the chemical. A laboratory population was challenged with imidacloprid in successive generations. After 23 generations, the resistance ratio had increased from 200- to 1 298-fold. Continuous selection with imidacloprid could increase the resistance level even more than has already been developed in the population. Stopping selection with imidacloprid led to a rapid decrease of resistance from 759- to 114-fold after 17 generations. Resistance levels then became stable without decreasing any further. A similar result was also obtained from a study involving a field population (resistance ratio = 625-fold) collected from Tongzhou. At first, the population showed a rapid decrease in resistance right after imidacloprid selection was stopped, and then the resistance stabilized at a level of 105–129-fold. More interestingly, resistance increased again when selection was resumed. In addition, the resistant strain selected with imidacloprid showed substantial cross-resistance to imidaclothiz, thiacloprid, and acetamiprid, and slight levels of cross-resistance to dinotefuran and thiamethoxam, but no obvious cross-resistance to nitenpyram, buprofezin, and fipronil. The information from this study is valuable for formulating resistance-management strategies against N. lugens .     

Determination of the Genetic and Synergistic Suppression of a Methoxyfenozide-Resistant Strain of the House Fly <Emphasis Type="Italic">Musca domestica</Emphasis> L. (Diptera: Muscidae)

Musca domestica Linnaeus (house fly, Diptera: Muscidae) is a major veterinary and medical important pest all over the world. These flies have ability to develop resistance to insecticides. The present trial was performed to discover the inheritance mode (autosomal, dominance, number of genes involved) and preliminary mechanism of methoxyfenozide resistance in order to provide basic information necessary to develop resistance management strategy for this pest. A strain of M. domestica (MXY-SEL) was exposed to methoxyfenozide for 44 generations which developed a 5253.90-fold level of resistance to methoxyfenozide. The overlapping fiducial limits of LC₅₀ values of the reciprocal crosses, F₁ (MXY-SEL ♂?×?Susceptible ♀) and F₁^? (MXY-SEL ♀?×?Susceptible ♂), suggest that inheritance of methoxyfenozide resistance was an autosomal and likely completely dominant trait (D_LC?=?0.93 and 0.94 for F₁ and F₁^?, respectively). Backcrosses of the F₁ with the parental MXY-SEL or Susceptible population predict a polygenic mode of inheritance. Piperonyl butoxide significantly altered the LC₅₀ values, suggesting enhanced detoxification by cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases is a major mechanism of resistance to methoxyfenozide in the MXY-SEL strain. The estimated realized heritability was 0.07 for methoxyfenozide. These results would be helpful for the better management of M. domestica.
