“…However, the lack of correlation between topical bioassay results and cage test results found in this study suggest that this is an inappropriate method for detecting resistance to insecticides formulated as baits. A laboratory feeding test was developed (Bailey et al, 1968;Keiding, 1975) and the correlation shown between feeding test results and cage test results indicate that this may be a more appropriate method for assessing resistance to insecticide baits. The fact that the correlation between feeding test and choice tests was less significant than between feeding test and no-choice tests suggest that the cage test may be a more sensitive method for detecting behavioural resistance to insecticides formulated as baits.…”

Field strains of housefly collected from animal units were exposed to the insecticide baits, Golden Malrin and Alfacron in laboratory cage tests. Flies were exposed to each bait alone in no-choice tests and to the bait plus sugar in choice tests. Golden Malrin was generally effective against the strains tested in no-choice tests; the lowest recorded knockdown after exposure for 48 h was 82%. Eight strains, however, gave a reduced knockdown when exposed in choice tests (between 60 and 87%). Golden Malrin was ineffective against one strain in choice tests with 7% knockdown at 48 h. With Alfacron 12 strains exhibited knockdown responses between 57 and 87% at 48 h in no-choice tests. In choice tests, 17 strains gave knockdown responses of less than 50% at 48 h. Correlation coefficients were calculated for results from cage tests and levels of resistance to the active ingredients assessed using topical application and feeding test methods. There was a positive correlation between cage and feeding test results. Correlation was, however, less significant with choice test results than with no-choice results. There was no correlation between cage test and topical results. It is suggested that behavioural resistance was responsible for the reduced responses shown by some strains in choice tests compared to no-choice tests. The results demonstrate the importance of using a laboratory method which allows for behavioural differences when monitoring for resistance to insecticides formulated as baits. Behavioural differences in housefly strains should be considered when testing the efficacy of new bait formulations. It is also suggested that insecticide baits should not be used continuously and exclusively to control houseflies in intensive animal units.

“…Tap water was supplied on a cotton-wool swab in a 10 ml disposable plastic container, inverted on the mesh top of the containers. A method based on the principle described by Bailey et al (1968) and Keiding, (1974) was used. Insecticides were dissolved in acetone and serially diluted to give a range of concentrations.…”

“…The two subsamples were then placed in one of the compartments of a test chamber made of clear plastic described by Bailey et al (1968). The next day each sample was pulverized and divided into two equal portions (subsamples) which were placed in the two half-sections of a disposable plastic petri dish.…”

Can. Ent. 103: 853-856 (1971) A statewide survey was made in Florida to determine the resistance of house flies, Musca domestica L., from 25 different locations throughout the state to trichlorfon and dichlomos in dry sugar baits. When compared with susceptible flies (Orlando regular strain), the resistance to trichlorfon ranged from 2.5-to 135.0-fold in flies from dairies and from 5.0-to 310.0-fold in flies from poultries. The resistance level to dichlomos was 1.0-to 22.5-fold in those fly strains collected in dairies and 2.3-to 16.6-fold in those collected in poultry houses.
