ABSTRACT
The control of the sheep blowfly relies on the use of insecticides. There have been several reports of in vitro and in vivo resistance to the most widely-used flystrike control chemical, dicyclanil. A recent report also described in vitro resistance to imidacloprid in a strain collected from a single property over three consecutive seasons that also showed resistance to dicyclanil. The present study aimed to use in vitro assays to examine five field-collected blowfly strains to determine if this co-occurrence of resistance to dicyclanil and imidacloprid was present more widely in field strains and to also measure resistance patterns to the other currently-used flystrike control chemicals. Each of the strains showed significant levels of resistance to both dicyclanil and imidacloprid resistance factors at the IC50 of 9.1-23.8â¯for dicyclanil, and 8.7-14.1â¯for imidacloprid. Resistance factors at the IC95 ranged from 16.5 to 53.7, and 14.6-24.3â¯for dicyclanil and imidacloprid, respectively. Resistance factors were up to 8.5 for cyromazine at the IC95. Resistance to dicyclanil and imidacloprid was suppressed by co-treatment with the cytochrome P450 inhibitor, aminobenzotriazole, implicating this enzyme system in the observed resistances. We discuss the implications of the co-occurrence of resistance to dicyclanil and imidacloprid on insecticide rotation strategies for blowfly control. We also discuss the roles of insecticide resistance, environmental factors (e.g. rainfall), operational factors (e.g. insecticide application technique) and other animal health issues (e.g. scouring / diarrhoea) that together will impact on the likelihood of flystrike occurring at an earlier time point than expected after insecticide application.
