| Abstract: | Resistance to organophosphate (OP) and/or carbamate insecticides can be due to mutations in the acetylcholinesterase gene (Ace). Genotypes of house fly, Musca domestica L., Ace were determined in twelve laboratory maintained strains (originally from North America, Europe and Asia) and two field collected populations from New York and Florida. There were 15 Ace alleles found and 11 of the alleles coded for a susceptible form of the enzyme (i.e., V260, A316, G342 and F407). Three of the four resistance alleles were previously described, while one is new. Phylogenetic analysis of the alleles suggests multiple origins of the F407Y mutation and multiple origins of the G342A mutation that confer OP resistance. Genotyping of field collected house flies from New York and Florida populations revealed the presence of only one resistance allele, Acev10 (containing the non-synonymous mutations for A342 and Y407). All other alleles detected from the field-collected flies coded for a susceptible AChE. Thus, we were able to categorize individual flies as having homozygous susceptible (AceS/AceS), homozygous insensitive (AceI/AceI or Acev10/Acev10) or heterozygous AChE. The frequencies of AceS and AceI were not different between the NY2002 and FL2002 populations. Both populations were out of Castle-Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, having an excess of AceS/AceI individuals and very few AceS/AceS individuals. Comparison of Ace, Vssc and CYP6D1 genotypes indicates individual house flies commonly have resistance alleles at multiple loci. Comparison of genotype data with bioassays, as well as the use of genotype data in resistance studies is discussed. |
