Estado de la resistencia a insecticidas en cepas de terreno de la especie Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) procedentes del municipio Pinar del Río

a study of the levels of resistance to 10 insecticides: 4 organophosphate compounds (malathion, clorpirifos, methyl-pyrimifos and diazinon), 2 carbamates (propoxur and bendiocarb) and 4 pyrethroids (cypermethrin, deltamethrin, lamda-cyhalothrin and cyfluthrin) was conducted in 5 strains of blatella germanica (linnaeus, 1767) collected in the field of pinar del río. high levels of resistance to bediocarb, cypermethrin and deltamethrin insecticides; low level of resistance to diazinon; from moderate to high resistance to methyl-pyrimifos, as well as susceptibility to one insecticide in each study group: clorpirifos (organophosphate), propoxur (carbamate) and cyfluthrin (pyrethroid); were detected. only a strain presented low resistance to malathion (inicio carlos manuel) and to lambda-cyhalothrin (consejo celso maragoto). cypermethrin-deltamethrin cross resistance was evidenced. it did not affect the susceptibility to lambda-cyalothrin and cyfluthrin.
