Popis: | Spinosad is a novel insecticide which is useful for control of multiple insect pests and it was introduced for housefly control within the last decade. Prior to the introduction of spinosad in Denmark, a survey of Danish houseflies from farms all over the country was initiated, and we discovered a strain that was resistant to spinosad. However, this cross-resistance was unusual because females were 26-fold resistant, while males were only 6-fold resistant. This pattern of resistance does not match any known resistance to other insecticides and is different from spinosad resistance in other countries. Discovering the reasons behind this sex specific resistance will shed some light in mechanisms behind spinosad resistance in the housefly. |
