Toxicity of 14 selected acaricides was tested for a laboratory strain of female D. gallinae. The most toxic were carbaryl (LC50 = 5.0 micrograms/m2), deltamethrin (LC50 = 7.8 micrograms/m2), bendiocarb (LC50 = 11.1 micrograms/m2), and permethrin (LC50 = 12.6 micrograms/m2). High level resistance to DDT in D. gallinae was recorded, with factors of resistance at LC50/LC90 reaching 57/73.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
