TI  - Response of insecticide-resistant and susceptible houseflies (Musca domestica) to 
      a commercial granular bait formulation containing methomyl.
PG  - 29-34
AB  - Female houseflies (Musca domestica L.) from a susceptible and a 
      multi-insecticide-resistant strain were used to evaluate the relative toxicity of 
      an insecticide bait formulation of the carbamate insecticide methomyl. Individual 
      flies were allowed to feed on bait granules for an unrestricted period or for 5 
      s. Resistant flies took longer than susceptible flies to initiate a feeding 
      response. When allowed to feed continuously, those from the resistant strain 
      spent longer feeding than susceptible ones. The time taken to knock-down (KD), 
      including feeding times, was significantly greater for resistant than susceptible 
      flies (P less than 0.001), but once the proboscis was withdrawn from the granule 
      there was no difference in KD times between the strains. All flies from both 
      strains were knocked down, and only a very small number of resistant and 
      susceptible flies recovered. The toxic effects of methomyl on flies which were 
      restricted to a 5 s feed ranged from no observed effect to KD in less than 1 min. 
      After feeding for 5 s, 81% of resistant and 98% of susceptible flies developed 
      signs of methomyl poisoning. More resistant than susceptible flies recovered from 
      KD, giving final mortalities of 46% and 88% respectively. With both feeding 
      regimes, some flies of both strains which had apparently recovered from KD had 
      lost their ability to fly. Observations have also shown that 8% of resistant 
      flies may have been repelled by methomyl granules. The implication of these 
      results on the survival of M. domestica in intensive animal units following 
      exposure to methomyl bait is also discussed.
