    Journal: Wiad Parazytol; 1991; 37(3):367-73. PubMed ID: 1822052.
    Abstract:
    Five field strains of Blattella germanica from different areas of Bulgaria were tested for resistance to DDT. The strain from Sofia-city after 24 hours of exposure was resistant to DDT in terms of mortality by resistant ratio of 3.76 at the LT50 level. Also 5 strains of B. germanica from 3 regions of Bulgaria have been tested to the carbamate insecticide--Propoxur. For the first time in Bulgaria, DDT- and Propoxur-resistant cockroach strains have been found. It is due to female and nymph resistance, while the males are highly susceptible to Propoxur.
