    Abstract:
    Resistance to organophosphorus insecticides (malathion, chlorpyriphos, pyrimiphos-methyl); carbamates (propoxur); and pyrethroids (permethrin, deltametrine, cypermetrine, and lambda cialotrine) was studied in field populations of Musca domestica; results were compared with a susceptible reference strain. The method of topic application was employed in the bioassays; the synergist effect of the s,s,s tributyl phosphorotrioate and of the piperonyl butoxide (PB) was also tested. Biochemical microplate tests were also carried out to determine the presence of esterase and acetylcholinesterase enzymes in the three populations. Generalized resistance to malathion (FR = 264.6; 164.0; 154.7) was observed.
