  • Title: A review of control methods and resistance mechanisms in stored-product insects.
    Author: Boyer S, Zhang H, Lempérière G.
    Journal: Bull Entomol Res; 2012 Apr; 102(2):213-29. PubMed ID: 22126937.
    Abstract:
    This review describes the major stored-product insect species and their resistance to insecticides. The economic importance of the control of those pests is highlighted with a loss of more than one billion US dollars per year worldwide. A detailed common description of species resistance throughout the world has been developed, and we observed 28 recurrent studied species involved in resistance cases disseminated on the five continents. The different mechanisms, including behavioral resistance, were studied particularly on Oryzaephilus surinamensis. The role of detoxifying enzymes and studies on the genetic resistance, involving the kdr mutation mechanisms and the transmission of the genes of resistance, are also described. A chapter clarifying definitions on cross and multiple resistance is enclosed.
