Abstract

Pretreatment of first instar larvae of 28 resistant strains of Lucilia cuprina(Wiedemann) with the inhibitor of microsomal oxidases, piperonyl butoxide, resulted in a biphasic response to the phosphorothioate insecticide diazinon. Analysis of the data revealed a complex response in which both synergist-dependent and independent effects occurred. The responses varied markedly from strain to strain. A laboratory susceptible strain and field strains with resistance factors of less than 20-fold exhibited, in the presence of piperonyl butoxide, an increased LC50 with respect to diazinon whereas those strains with > 20-fold resistance were synergized by the compound. We conclude tentatively that microsomal mixed-function oxidases play a contributory role in the development of resistance and that the variation in synergist effect from strain to strain may be attributed, at least in part, to the two-fold effect of these enzymes on phosphorothioate insecticides such as diazinon.
