    Journal: Rev Cubana Med Trop; 1994; 46(2):130-2. PubMed ID: 9768250.
    Abstract:
    We determined the resistance of 2 Blattella germanica strains collected in 2 municipalities of City of Havana--Playa (P) and Centro Habana (CH)--to six insecticides: malathion, pyrimiphos-methyl, propoxur, cipermetrine, deltametrine, and lambda cialotrine. The P strain showed resistance only to deltametrine (FR = 80); the CH strain was susceptible to propoxur and lambda cialotrine and resistant to malathion (FR = 12), pyrimiphosmethyl (FR = 13), cipermetrine (FR = 16), and deltametrine (FR = 100). Gene frequency of increased esterases and of the modified acetylcholinesterase was determined in the 2 strains. The values of increased esterases in the two collected strains were: P = 0.90; and CH = 0.91. Values of the modified acetylcholinesterase in the two strains were: P = 0.47; and CH = 0.12.
