This study was conducted to investigate the resistance development and cross-res~stance of house fly (Musco dornestica L.) selected with chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos and permethrin for 11 generations to various p u p s of insectiodes. The resistance ratio (RR) of the chlorpyrifos-selected (Q), the d~chlorvos- selected (&) a d the permethrin-selected (R,) stmlns were 42 0. 38 and 187 tlrnes in female. and 42.0, 4 1 and 16.4 time; in male from the susceptible strain, respectively. The Rc strain showed highest cross-resistance to permethlin among the insectic~des tested: RR=7.5 and 9.6 tunes in female and male, respectively, whereas negatively correlated cross-resistance to propoxur was observed. High cross-res~atance to chlorpyrifos were produced for female (RR= 13.3) and male (RR=15.9) of Rd strain, and female (RR=8.7) and male (RR= 9 7) of R, strain. respectively

In this study, we investigated resistance to the organophosphates chlorpyrifos in Tunisian populations of Culex pipiens pipiens. Three field populations were collected from Northern and central Tunisia between 2003 and 2005 and used for the bioassays tests. Our results registered moderate and high levels of resistance to chlorpyrifos which ranged from 33.8 to 111. The chlorpyrifos resistant populations were highly resistant to propoxur indicated an insensitive acetylcholinesterase 1 (AChE 1). The highest frequency of AChE 1 resistant phenotypes (64%) was recorded in the most resistant population (sample # 1). Bioassays conducted in the presence of synergists showed that not esterases were involved as the resistance mechanism to chlorpyrifos. However, CYP450 was partly involved in the resistance of the most resistant sample (# 1). Starch electrophoresis showed that three esterases were present in studied samples: A2-B2, A4-B4 and B12. Results are discussed in relation to the selection pressure caused by insecticide treatments.

The German cockroach (Blattella germanical L.) populations were successively selected with chlorpyrifos and permethrin for xis generations. The resulting resistant strains, $R_{chlorpyrifos}$(Rc) and $R_{permethrin}$(Rp) were observed resistant development and the cross-resistance. The result indicated that the values of $LC_{50}$ were increased 3.32 and 2.10 times from the susceptible strain, respectively. In the Rc strains, the values of the $LC_{50}$ of fenvalerate, propoxur, permethrin were to 3.89, 2.97, and 1.31 times higher than that of the suseptible, respectively. In the Rp strains, the values of the $LC_{50}$ of fenvalerate, chlorpyrifos, and propoxur showed 5.23, 1.42, and 1.80 times cross-resistance.

To determine the mechanism of the resistance to organophosphorus insecticide, chlorpyrifos, in diamondback-moth (Plutella xylostella L.), activities of esterases, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and AChE insensitivity which were known for causing factor of resistance were measured. Also, the relationship between AChE insensitivity and the resistant ratio was investigated to inquiry the cross-resistance. The resistant ratio of chlorpyrifos-resistant strain (CRS) of diamondback-moth at the 6th generation was developed 160 fold compared to susceptible strain (SS) one. Activity of GST that are extracted from CRS was 1.7-fold higher than that from SS. However, activity of total esterases from CRS was similar to that from SS. In AChE insensitivity test, CRS was 11.8-fold less sensitive than that from SS. CRS was ranged from 17.6 to 33.6-fold less sensitive than SS to other insecticides having same target site with chlorpyrifos such as dichlorvos, dimethylvinphos and carbofuran. Insensitivity of AChE to phenthoate-oxon, however, was 1.7-fold. Resistance of CRS was 82-fold, 47-fold and 42-fold higher than SS to dichlorvos, dimethylvinphos and carbofuran, respectively, but 2.3-fold to phenthoate and then we could identify that the resistance development of insecticide might have a lot of difference among the chemicals with the same target site. The relationship between the AChE insensitivity and the resistant ratio was significantly correlated$(r=0.9951^{**},\;p^{(0.01)}$. This result indicates that AChE insensitivity was associated with insecticide resistance. Overall, these results suggest that insensitivity of AChE was an important factors to chlorpyrifos resistance in diamondback-moth, and the slightly increased activity of GST may also have contributed to that.

A field-resistant strain of the diamondback-moth(Plutella xylostella L.), collected from Chinese cabbage alpine farmland at Gangwon-do, Korea, was used for determination of the characteristics of resistance to chlorpyrifos using the activities of esterases and glutathione-S-transferase(GST), protein sequestration and AChE insenstivity. Although the activities of esterases extracted from resistant strain and susceptible strain were not significantly different, isozyme bands shown on the electrophoresis were different. GST activity from field resistant strain was 1.5-fold higher than that of susceptible. No differences were shown between resistant and susceptible ones in protein sequestration. The insensitivities of AChE to chlorpyrifos, however, extracted from susceptible strain was 460-fold higher than those of resistant. These results indicated that the insensitivity of AChE is the major factor for developing the resistance and activities of GST might be a minor factor.

Chemotherapeutic treatment is still the foundation of tick control programs. This study investigated the acaricidal efficacy of cypermethrin alone and in combination with chlorpyrifos against Haemaphysalis (H.) longicornis. Unfed larval ticks were exposed to 0.1, 1.0, and 10 mg/mL cypermethrin for 60 min, after which the acaricidal efficacy was examined based on tick mortality. All compounds showed similar suppression curves, with the best control being achieved by cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos (1 : 1 ratio) at 10 mg/mL. Effective cypermethrin concentrations for tick control were two to seven times higher than the recommended doses, indicating resistance by H. longicornis.

The activities against Frankliniella occidentalis adults collected at rose greenhouse of 40 commerical insecticides were investigated. Among them 9 insecticides showed over 80% mortality to the adults; chlorfenapyr, chlorpyrifos- methyl, emamectin benzoate, fenthion, fipronil, phenthoate, spinosad, chlorpyrifos+diflubenzuron and furathiocarb+diflubenzuron. Susceptibility of field populations collected from greenhouse rose at 5 locations in 2001 was evaluated against the 9 insecticides selected. There was considerable difference in susceptibility depending on the treated insecticides and the regions from which the populations were collected. Goyang and Gimhae populations showed lower $LC_{50}$(ppm) values then Imsil, Jincheon and Gaangjin populations to all the tested insecticides. The adults of all field populations showed lower $LC_{50}$ values less than 1 ppm to emamectin benzoate, fipronil and spinosad. From these results, we could recommend 5 insecticides, such as emamectin benzoate, fipronil, spinosad, chlorpyrifos+diflubenzuron and furathiocarb+diflubenzuron as effective ones to control the Frankliniella occidentalis field populations.

Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) recently became a single worst insect which is not controlled effectively by organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides in Kangwon alpine croplands. The objective of this study was to determine if diamondback moth has developed a resistance to organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides. Resistance of diamondback moth, collected at Keichon, Jangpyong Taebaek, Chunchon, and Hongchon, was determined by the concentration required to kill fifty percent of population, $LC_{50}$. Their response of resistance varied to insecticides and locations: Taebaek populations were 35 and 70 times more resistant to chlorpyrifos and fenitrothion, respectively, than susceptible(S) population. Hongchon populations were 94 and 254 times more resistant to chlorpyrifos and fenitrothion, respectively, than S population. In addition, Chunchon populations were 37 and 19 times more resistant to profenofos and benfuracarb, respectively, than S population. However, the field populations did not differ in resistance to diazinon, phenthoate, flupyrazofos, carbofuran, and furathiocarb. This study show that field populations of diamondback moth found in Kangwon alpine vegetable croplands have developed a resistance and/or multiple resistance to some insecticides, implying that farmers are losing organophosphorus and carbamate insecticide options for selective control in vegetable crops.

Experiments were conducted to study effects of different bioassay methods on toxicity to the German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) ith six insecticides. For male adults, by dry film method, the {TEX}$LC_{50}${/TEX} value of chlorpyrifos. fenvalerate, propoxur, permethin, DDVP, and hydramethylnon was 1.79, 1.87, 3.04, 4.37, 32.72, and 270.81 ppm, respectively and the same tendency was shown in the female. For male adults, by topical micro-application method, the {TEX}$LD_{50}${/TEX} value of DDVP and fenvalerate, chlorpyrifls, permethrin, propoxur, hydramethylnon was 2.63, 3.79, 4.51, 6.73, 44.99 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, respectively and the same tendency was shown in the female. From the diet toxicity method against male adults, the CT value (Concentration%$\times${TEX}$LT_{50}${/TEX}) showed that chlorpyrifos was rapid effective and hydramethylnon was residual effective.

The german cockroach, Blattello germanica L, populations were successively selected with dlchlowos for 11 generations. The resulting selected shin was investigated the resistance development. the cross resistance and the esterase actim@. In the dichlowos-selected(Rd) strain, the values of LCs increased 858 times more compared to the susceptible (S) strain. In the dich!o~vos-selected (Rd) strains, the cross-res~stance to chlorpyrifos, propoxur, fenvalerate and pemethnn showed 3.35. 4.09. 283 and 2.00 times. Esterase.activity of the Rd strain showed 1.33 times higher than that of the S strain in the filter paper test. In comparison of zymogram paitems of the estemse isoryme by thin agarose gel electrophoresis against the german cockroach, the S strain was separated by 4 bands uf esterase 3, 5, 6 and 8 bands and the Rd strain was separated by 6 bands of esterase 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 bands, and the resistant mechanisms of the Rd strain were considered as the 4 bands of esterase-1.2.4 and 7 bands except the common 2 bands of esterase.6 and 8 bands.
