Abstract
Cross-resistance spectra were determined in strains of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann), which had been pressured for several years in the laboratory with diflubenzuron, butacarb or deltamethrin. Each strain was highly resistant to its selecting chemical (resistance factors > 1000-fold), however, cross-resistance levels were variable and often low. In particular, strains selected with diflubenzuron and butacarb showed very little resistance to deltamethrin (resistance factors in vitro acetylcholinesterase sensitivity to butacarb inhibition in the butacarb-selected strain, and only low level resistance to DDT in the deltamethrin-selected strain, provided no evidence for target-site insensitivities in these strains. The low-moderate levels of cross-resistance therefore imply the existence of qualitative differences in the detoxification systems in each strain.Keywords
