The physiological mechanisms of resistance to carbaryl were investigated in a carbaryl-resistant strain of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). Piperonyl butoxide greatly reduced the resistance level from 90- to 6-fold, indicating that microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases may play a major role in resistance. This finding is consistent with metabolic data in which the oxidative metabolism of carbaryl by midgut homogenates was five times more active in the resistant strain than in the susceptible strain. In addition, the resistant strain showed increased activities of microsomal hydroxylation and epoxidation compared to the susceptible strain. Cuticular penetration studies using [14C]carbaryl revealed that 55% of the applied radioactivity remained on the cuticle of resistant larvae while 32% remained on susceptible larvae 24 hr after topical treatment. The resistance appeared to be unrelated to target site insensitivity. It is concluded that the high level of resistance to carbaryl in this insect was mainly due to enhanced oxidative metabolism of the insecticide (via hydroxylation and epoxidation) with reduced cuticular penetration playing a very minor role, if any.  相似文献

Most of the studies on insecticide impregnated bednets efficacy in malaria control have been undertaken in areas where mosquitoes are pyrethroid susceptible. The efficacy of pyrethroid-treated bednets was not compromised even when mosquitoes were kdr resistant. Here, we evaluate a case in which mosquitoes have kdr-like pyrethroid resistance coupled with metabolic mechanisms. Metabolic and kdr-resistance mechanisms in Anopheles stephensi were characterised in our previous study and this easily colonised species was used as a model to examine the efficacy of pyrethroid-treated bednets in the laboratory. Bioassays performed on adults of susceptible (Beech) and resistant (DUB-S) strains using WHO 0.75% permethrin-impregnated papers showed a resistance ratio of 9.75. The recovery rate of the mosquitoes of the DUB-S strain was significantly higher than that of the susceptible strain Beech. The overall permethrin metabolism rates by DUB-S, measured by HPLC method, were 1.5-fold more than by Beech strain. Bioassays performed on DUB-S mosquitoes using different pyrethroid-treated bednets showed that only deltamethrin at 25 mg/m2 and α-cypermethrin at 40 mg/m2 produced adequate mortality rates. Four other pyrethroids, including permethrin, were ineffective. The deterrency test performed on susceptible and resistant An. stephensi showed that there are significant differences between the entry rates of susceptible and resistant mosquitoes into the exposure tube containing permethrin-treated bednet. These data show that when mosquitoes have both kdr-type and metabolic resistance mechanisms, the efficacy of pyrethroid-treated bednets is questionable.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) effectively synergises synthetic pyrethroids, rendering even very resistant insect pests susceptible, provided a temporal element is included between exposure to synergist and insecticide. This concept is now applied to carbamates and neonicotinoids. RESULTS: A microencapsulated formulation of PBO and pirimicarb reduced the resistance factor in a clone of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) from >19 000- to 100-fold and in Aphis gossypii (Glover) from >48 000- to 30-fold. Similar results were obtained for a strain of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius resistant to imidacloprid and acetamiprid, although a second resistant strain did not exhibit such a dramatic reduction, presumably owing to the presence of target-site insensitivity and the absence of metabolic resistance. Synergism was also observed in laboratory susceptible insects, suggesting that, even when detoxification is not enhanced, there is degradation of insecticides by the background enzymes. Use of an analogue of PBO, which inhibits esterases but has reduced potency against microsomal oxidases, suggests that acetamiprid resistance in whiteflies is largely oxidase based. CONCLUSION: Temporal synergism can effectively enhance the activity of carbamates and neonicotinoids against resistant insect pests. Although the extent of this enhancement is dependent upon the resistance mechanisms present, inhibition of background enzymes can confer increased sensitivity against target-site resistance as well as increased metabolism. .  相似文献

Effective control of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stål, across rice-growing regions of Asia has been seriously compromised over the last 2 years by the appearance of widespread resistance to the neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid. Sequence analysis of the ligand-binding domain of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α1 subunit from two field-collected resistant strains (CHN-2 and IND-11) did not reveal the Y151S point mutation previously implicated in conferring target-site resistance in this species. This result was supported by ligand-binding studies with [3H]-imidacloprid that showed no significant change in insecticide binding to isolated membranes from susceptible and resistant strains. In contrast, there was an approximate 5-fold increase in the mixed function oxidase activity for the two resistant strains suggesting that imidacloprid metabolism by increased cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity is the major mechanism of resistance in these strains.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Neonicotinoid action as well as resistance involves interaction with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). In the housefly, neonicotinoid resistance also involves cytochrome P450, as indicated by bioassay with synergist as well as altered expression. In bioassay, synergism was only partial and indicated possible target‐site resistance. The nAChR α2 subunit is important in neonicotinoid toxicity to insects, and gene expression of the Mdα2 subunit was investigated in field populations and laboratory strains of neonicotinoid‐resistant and insecticide‐susceptible houseflies, Musca domestica L. The genomic sequence covering exon III–VII of Mdα2 was analysed for mutations. RESULTS: Gene expression profiling of Mdα2 revealed notable differences between neonicotinoid‐resistant and insecticide‐susceptible houseflies. On average, the neonicotinoid‐resistant field population 766b and the imidacloprid selected strain 791imi had 60% lower copy numbers of Mdα2 compared with the susceptible reference strain. Sequencing of exon III–VII of the Mdα2, encoding acetylcholine binding‐site regions and three out of four transmembrane domains, did not reveal any mutations explaining the increased neonicotinoid tolerance in the strains examined. CONCLUSION: Previous discoveries and the results of this study suggest that the neonicotinoid resistance mechanism in Danish houseflies involves both cytochrome P450 monooxygenase‐mediated detoxification and reduced expression of the nAChR subunit α2.

Topical laboratory selection of tobacco budworm larvae, Heliothis virescens, with technical spinosad for multiple generations resulted in larvae 1068-fold resistant to topical applications of the insecticide and 316.6-fold resistant to insecticide treated diet as compared to the parental strain. The penetration of 2′-O-methyl[14C]spinosyn A across the cuticle of the susceptible (parental) and selected (resistant) tobacco budworms increased with time 3-12 h after application. A trend of reduced penetration in the resistant strain was found but the differences were not statistically significant. 2′-O-methyl[14C]spinosyn A when injected into the hemocoel was not metabolized 96 h after treatment in both the susceptible and resistant strain, suggesting that a change in metabolism was not the mechanism of resistance. Electrophysiological studies indicated that dose-dependent spinosyn A-induced currents occurred in neurons from spinosyn resistant and susceptible (adult) tobacco budworms. At both 10 and 100 nM spinosyn A, however, the amplitude of these currents in the resistant insects was significantly smaller than the amplitude of currents observed from neurons from susceptible tobacco budworm adults. This suggests that neurons from resistant insects have decreased sensitivity to spinosyn A. However, the reduced inward currents in the resistant strain may or may not be related to the mode of action of the spinosyns. No statistically significant cross-resistance was noted for the spinosad resistant tobacco budworms for topical applications of permethrin (Pounce®), profenofos (Curacron®), emamectin benzoate (Denim®), or indoxacarb (Steward®). A statistically significant reduction in susceptibility to acetamiprid (Mospilan®) in artificial diet as determined from a resistance ratio of 0.482 was found.  相似文献

Populations of the housefly Musca domestica isolated from farms in different German districts with strong resistance problems were compared to laboratory strains with varying resistance spectra. Resistance against pyrethroids, organophosphates and carbamates was tested using impregnated filter papers, and by topical application using a susceptible housefly strain (origin WHO) for comparison. The multi-resistant fly strains tested had a strong resistance against these insecticide groups, ranging from 37- to >10000-fold for organophosphates and 150- to >6600-fold for pyrethroids. The constituent enantiomer pairs of the α-cyano-pyrethroid cyfluthrin were tested, as was beta-cyfluthrin. With respect to multi-resistant fly strains, the isomers II and IV had the best activity, with LD50 values of 0·012 and 0·014 μg per fly, respectively. In addition, different groups of insect growth regulators (juvenile hormone analogues, chitin synthesis inhibitors and one triazine derivative) were tested in a special larvicidal test. The chitin synthesis inhibitors were quite effective against multi-resistant M. domestica strains except for one strain with strong resistance against chitin synthesis inhibitors, developed after extensive treatments with benzoylphenylureas for several years. The fly strains tested were not resistant against cyromazine. Additionally, the insecticides were combined with the synergists piperonyl butoxide, tributylphosphorotrithioate (DEF) and Cibacron blue and tested against the fly strain with the strongest resistance spectrum (‘Grimm’) in comparison to the susceptible strain (‘WHO-N’). Piperonyl butoxide had the greatest effect on the efficacy of cyfluthrin followed by Cibacron blue and DEF. In a parallel investigation with susceptible and resistant house fly strains, different enzyme activities related with resistance mechanisms were tested, e.g. glutathione S-transferase (3·5-fold) and mixed-function oxidase (2·3-fold). Implications of these results for management of insecticide resistance in M. domestica are discussed.  相似文献

The cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases (P450s) are an important enzymatic system that metabolizes xenobiotics (e.g., pesticides), as well as endogenous compounds (e.g., hormones). P450-mediated metabolism can result in detoxification of insecticides such as pyrethroids, or can be involved in the bioactivation and detoxification of insecticides such as organophosphates. We isolated (from the JPAL strain) a permethrin resistant strain (ISOP450) of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus, having 1300-fold permethrin resistance using standard backcrossing procedures. ISOP450 is highly related to the susceptible lab strain (SLAB) and the high resistance to permethrin is due solely to P450-mediated detoxification. This is the first time in mosquitoes that P450 monooxygenase involvement in pyrethroid resistance has been isolated and studied without the confounding effects of kdr. Resistance in ISOP450 is incompletely dominant (D = +0.3), autosomally linked, and monofactorally inherited. It is expressed in the larvae, but not in adults. Cross-resistance to pyrethroids lacking a 3-phenoxybenzyl moiety (tetramethrin, fenfluthrin, bioallethrin, and bifenthrin) ranged from 1.5- to 12-fold. ISOP450 had only limited (6.6- and 11-fold) cross-resistance to 3-phenoxybenzyl pyrethroids with an α-cyano group (cypermethrin and deltamethrin, respectively). Examination of cross-resistance patterns to organophosphate insecticides in ISOP450 showed an 8-fold resistance to fenitrothion, while low, but significant, levels of negative cross-resistance were found for malathion (RR = 0.84), temephos (RR = 0.73), and methyl-parathion (RR = 0.55). The importance and uniqueness of this P450 mechanism in insecticide resistance is discussed.  相似文献

Susceptibility to spinosad (Success®/Tracer®) of beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua) from the southern USA and Southeast Asia was determined through exposure of second‐ and third‐instar larvae to dipped cotton leaves. LC50 estimates of susceptibility of second‐ and third‐instar larvae of field populations ranged from 0.279 to 6.14 and 0.589 to 14.0 mg spinosad litre−1, respectively. A Thailand population was 22‐ and 24‐fold less susceptible than the six other US field populations evaluated, and 85‐ and 58‐fold less susceptible than a reference laboratory population, respectively. From these results, we initiated experiments to test the hypothesis that the Thailand population was resistant to spinosad. F1 crosses between the resistant Thailand population and a susceptible reference strain yielded individuals that were 22‐fold less sensitive to spinosad than the susceptible parent. This same resistant strain exhibited significantly greater survivorship on plants treated with spinosad in the field. Lastly, selection of an Arizona population resulted in a significant reduction in susceptibility to spinosad, further substantiating the hypothesis of a genetic basis for resistance to spinosad. These findings indicate a vulnerability of this new insecticide to resistance development in beet armyworm and should serve as a warning against excessive use of it. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

The DDT-resistant housefly strain, Fe, known to resist DDT by biochemical oxidation, is also resistant to carbamate insecticides and has a high in vitro microsomal epoxidase activity. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the DDT resistance, associated with chromosome V, is also responsible for the resistance to carbamates and for the high epoxidase levels. Genetic procedures for segregating the R factors were employed using a multimarker insecticide susceptible strain designated acbco. The technique involved backcrossing the F1 hybrid of the resistant and susceptible parents to the susceptible parent. The genotypes with a single R chromosome from the Fc parent were retained for further development as substrains and for toxicological and biochemical studies.These studies revealed that both resistance to the carbamate insecticide, propoxur, and the high in vitro microsomal epoxidation of aldrin were lost during the genetic isolation of the R factors. However, the resistance to DDT, associated with chromosome V, was present in the substrain carrying this chromosome from the Fc parent. All of the substrains were induced five- to seven-fold, by feeding phenobarbital at 1% in the diet for 3 days.Additional substrains synthesized from the substrains carrying chromosomes II and V or III and V from the Fc parent did not possess sufficient propoxur resistance or aldrin epoxidase activity to account for that present in the R parent.The interpretation of these rseults is that neither the carbamate resistance nor the microsomal epoxidase of the Fc strain is due to the factor which oxidizes DDT. Furthermore, the factor responsible for the high microsomal epoxidase activity is not due to a single chromosome such as chromosome II which is the case in other housefly strains with high oxidase activities.  相似文献

Despite a point mutation in the pore-forming segment of the Rdl GABA receptor subunit that is widespread and persistent in insect populations and confers high levels of resistance to dieldrin and other polychlorocycloalkane (PCCA) insecticides, the phenylpyrazole insecticide fipronil, which binds at same site, has proven to be effective in controlling many insects, including dieldrin-resistant populations. Fipronil and its major sulfone metabolite are unique among chloride channel blocking insecticides in that they also potently block GluCls. We present here a patch clamp study of the action of fipronil sulfone on native GABA receptors and GluCl receptors from susceptible and dieldrin-resistant German cockroaches, to provide a better understanding of the effect of the Rdl mutation on the function and insecticide sensitivity of these two targets, and its role in resistance. Dieldrin blocked GABA currents with an IC50 of 3 nM in wild-type cockroaches, and 383 nM in resistant insects, yielding a resistance ratio of 128. Fipronil sulfone blocked GABA currents with an IC50 of 0.8 nM in susceptible insects and 12.1 nM, or 15-fold higher, in resistant insects. While both GluClD (desensitizing) and GluClN (non-desensitizing) receptors were found in German cockroach neurons, GluClN receptors were rare and could not be included in this study. GluClD receptors from resistant insects had reduced sensitivity to glutamate and a lower rate of desensitization than those from susceptible insects, but their sensitivity to block by fipronil sulfone was not significantly changed, with an IC50 of 38.5 ± 2.4 nM (n = 8) in the susceptible strain and 40.3 ± 1.0 nM (n = 7) in the resistant strain. Fipronil sulfone also slowed the decay time course of GluClD currents. These results suggest that GluClD receptors contain the Rdl subunit, but their sensitivity to fipronil sulfone is not altered in resistant insects.  相似文献

Female houseflies (Musca dornestica L.) from a susceptible and a multiinsecticide-resistant strain were used to evaluate the toxicity of a granular insecticide bait formulation of the carbamate insecticide methomyl. The bait was either applied to a polystyrene bait target, or scattered over the floor of the fly treatment cages. Targets were treated with methomyl granules dissolved in water with and without apaste carrier or the granules were applied directly to the target using an adhesive. Scattered methomyl granules proved the most effective of the various treatments assessed. Based on the KT90 values, the most effective suspended bait treatments against susceptible or resistant flies were water as a carrier, and egg or ‘Lap’ wallpaper paste as adhesives; the least effective were ‘Polycell’ regular wallpaper paste as an adhesive and carboxymethylcellulose as a carrier. A proportion of flies from both the susceptible and the resistant strain recovered from knockdown; most of these lost their ability to fly (‘hoppers’) and subsequently survived the treatments. When bait targets treated with methomyl granules were fixed at right angles to the wall/floor junction of the treatment cages most of the recovered flies fed again on the bait and received a lethal dose. The mortality of flies exposed to suspended bait targets was influenced by the level of light. For both strains of fly, mortality decreased as the light intensity was lowered; this effect was more pronounced with the resistant strain. The implication of these results for the application of methomyl bait is discussed.  相似文献

The penetration and metabolism of [14C]deltamethrin was studied in susceptible and resistant Chinese and Pakistani strains of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), which were resistant to deltamethrin by 330- and 670-fold, respectively. The penetration of deltamethrin into resistant individuals was significantly slower than into susceptible individuals over a 24-h period. The time taken for 50% penetration of the applied deltamethrin was 1 h for the susceptible strain and 6 h for both of the resistant strains. The internal radioactivity was reduced by the larvae of resistant strains much faster than by the susceptible larvae. After 48 h, 40% of the penetrated deltamethrin was still inside the larvae of the susceptible strain, in comparison with 1.5-5% in the Pakistani strain and 8-14% in the Chinese strain. Both of the resistant strains produced methanol-soluble and water-soluble metabolites, but the susceptible strain produced methanol-soluble metabolites only. By 12, 24 and 48 h after dosing, the amount of methanol-soluble metabolites excreted by the resistant strains was almost double that of the susceptible strain. Both of the resistant strains also excreted 5-7% of the penetrated dose as a water-soluble metabolite after 48 h. In comparison with the Chinese strain, the Pakistani strain exhibited slower penetration, lower internal content and faster excretion of deltamethrin, which correlated with the higher resistance of the Pakistani strain. These findings show that the resistant Pakistani and Chinese strains of H. armigera possess mechanisms of reduced cuticular penetration and enhanced metabolism of deltamethrin and perhaps other pyrethroids.  相似文献

Resistance to malathion in Anopheles stephensi from Pakistan was measured at intervals during the first week of adult life. LT50 values for homozygous resistant females decreased four-fold during the first 7 days of adulthood. A decrease in resistance with age also occurred in heterozygotes; the LT50 values of males and females fell sevenfold during the first 5 days of adulthood. The sensitivity to malathion of a susceptible strain increased with age. A biochemical basis for the declining resistance levels was investigated. Resistant and susceptible adults were homogenized at intervals during the first week of adulthood and soluble extracts were incubated with [14C]malathion. The rate of malathion metabolism to mono- and dicarboxylic acids was faster in resistant than in susceptible mosquitoes. The rate of malathion metabolism decreased with age in both strains. A decrease in carboxylesterase activity with age in resistant and susceptible mosquitoes is thus responsible for the increasing sensitivity to malathion. Implications for the monitoring of resistance in the field by diagnostic dosages and for the future use of malathion in mosquito control are discussed.  相似文献

Penetration, metabolism and excretion of [14C]DDT and [3H]transpermethrin were studied in three strains of Aedes aegypti L. after topical application of 10 nl of a solution of the insecticide in 2-ethoxyethanol. The standard susceptible strain was compared with a DDT-selected strain (BKS) and a permethrin-selected strain (BKPM). No significant penetration resistance was observed in either resistant strain, but both showed high DDT-dehydrochlorinase activity which contributed to the DDT resistance. A non-metabolic factor was also involved. Rates of transpermethrin metabolism were very similar in all three strains and substantially higher internal concentrations of transpermethrin were required to produce toxic effects in both BKS and BKPM mosquitoes. By analogy with other insect species, it is concluded that transpermethrin resistance in these strains is of the kdr type, while the DDT resistance is a mixture of kdr and DDT-dehydrochlorinase.  相似文献

Malathion resistance in Anopheles arabiensis from Sudan is monofactorially inherited and is expressed in the adults but not in the larvae. The resistance is suppressed by the esterase synergist, triphenylphosphate. Semipurification of the soluble esterase enzymes by Sephadex G-25 and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration revealed no difference between the enzymes of the resistant and susceptible strains with α- or β-naphthylacetate (NA) with a fixed substrate concentration in either the adults or larvae. However, with the malathion-specific assay a second peak of activity was observed in the adult resistant strain which was not present in either the larvae of this strain or the larvae and adults of the susceptible strain. A corresponding threefold difference in the Km value for α-NA was also observed in the resistant adults over the range of this second peak, but there was no change in the Km with β-NA.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Methoxyfenozide is a lepidopteran‐specific insecticide that belongs to a new group of insecticides, the non‐steroidal ecdysteroid agonists, also called moulting accelerating compounds (MACs). To investigate the risk of resistance and possible mechanisms conferring resistance to methoxyfenozide, the authors selected in the laboratory for a resistant strain of the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.), which is a representative lepidopteran model and an important pest in cotton and vegetables worldwide, with a high risk for resistance development. RESULTS: After selection with methoxyfenozide during 13 generations, toxicity data showed that the selected strain developed fivefold resistance to methoxyfenozide in comparison with the susceptible strain. Measurement of the detoxification enzymes demonstrated that the monooxygenase (MO) activity was 2.1 times higher in the selected strain, whereas there was no change for esterases and glutathione‐S‐transferases. When the inhibitors piperonyl butoxide (PBO), S,S,S‐tributyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF) and diethyl maleate were tested as synergists, the respective synergistic ratios were 0.97, 0.96 and 1.0 for the susceptible strain, and 2.2, 0.96 and 1.1 for the resistant strain. The significant synergistic effect by PBO concurs with the increased MO activity in the selected strain. CONCLUSION: Taken overall, the present study supports the importance of MO‐mediated metabolism in resistance to methoxyfenozide, directing tactics to fight against resistance development for this novel group of insecticides.

BACKGROUND: The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.), is a cosmopolitan pest of cruciferous crops. Fufenozide, a novel non‐steroidal ecdysone agonist, exhibits good efficacy and plays an increasingly important role in the control of Lepidopterous pests in China. A laboratory strain of DBM was selected for resistance to fufenozide, and the genetic basis of resistance was studied. RESULTS: The resistant strain, selected under laboratory conditions, exhibited a higher level of resistance to fufenozide (302.8‐fold based on LC50s) than the laboratory susceptible strain. Mortality data from the testing of F1 progeny of reciprocal crosses of resistant and susceptible DBM indicated that resistance was autosomal and incompletely recessive with a degree of dominance of ?0.664. Chi‐square analysis from responses of a backcross of crossed F1 progeny and the resistant strain and F2 progeny were highly significant, suggesting that the resistance was probably controlled by more than one gene. The estimated realised heritability (h2) of fufenozide resistance was 0.08, indicating that diamondback moth may have a lower chance of developing resistance to fufenozide than other kinds of insecticide. CONCLUSION: The resistance of DBM to fufenozide might be autosomal and incompletely recessive, and the resistance is probably controlled by more than one gene. These results provide the basic information for pest management programmes. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献
