Abstract
Musca domestica L. (Muscidae: Diptera) is a human and livestock pest especially in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Different insecticides have been used to control this pest that pose serious harmful effects on humans and the environment. The current study was planned to investigate the effects of two concentrations (LC25 and LC50) of pyriproxyfen on biological and population parameters of a field strain of M. domestica. The exposed parents (F0) and their progeny (F1) were studied to examine the transgenerational effects. The results indicated that preadult duration was higher in control (13.68 days) compared to LC50 treated individuals (12.44 days). The male and female longevity was relatively lower in the LC25 treated population i.e. 24.62 and 26.62 days, respectively. The adult pre-oviposition period (APOP) and total pre-oviposition period (TPOP) values were higher in the LC25 treated individuals than those of control. Moreover, oviposition days and fecundity were reduced in the treated individuals as compared to the control treatment. A gradual decrease in the net reproductive rate (R0) was observed (8.46-14.07 per day) while the value of R0 was significantly higher in control. The results suggested that pyriproxyfen can be effectively utilized and incorporated in the management programs of M. domestica.

Khan HAA. Lack of fitness costs associated with resistance to permethrin in Musca domestica. Sci Rep 2024; 14:245. [PMID: 38167477 PMCID: PMC10761951 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50469-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Resistance to permethrin has been reported in Pakistani strains of Musca domestica. The present study explored the performance of biological traits and analyzed life tables to determine whether there is any detrimental effect of permethrin resistance on the fitness of permethrin-resistant strains [an isogenic resistant strain (Perm-R) and a field strain (Perm-F)] compared to a susceptible strain (Perm-S). Perm-R and Perm-F exhibited 233.93- and 6.87-fold resistance to permethrin, respectively. Life table analyses revealed that the Perm-R strain had a significantly shorter preadult duration, longer longevity, shorter preoviposition period, higher fecundity, finite rate of increase, intrinsic rate of increase, net reproductive rate and a shorter mean generation time, followed by the Perm-F strain when compared to the Perm-S strain. Data of the performance of biological traits reveled that permethrin resistance strains had a better fit than that of the Perm-S strain. The enhanced fitness of resistant strains of M. domestica may accelerate resistance development to permethrin and other pyrethroids in Pakistan. Some possible measures to manage M. domestica and permethrin resistance in situations of fitness advantage are discussed.

Abstract
Cyromazine is a triazine insect growth regulator insecticide that is recommended for control of Musca domestica worldwide. Cyromazine is highly effective in causing mortality of M. domestica; however, some aspects of its lethal and sublethal effects on the biology of M. domestica are still unknown. The present study explored lethal and sublethal effects on several biological traits and population parameters of M. domestica. Concentration-response bioassays of cyromazine against third-instar larvae of M. domestica exhibited sublethal and lethal effects from concentrations of 0.03 (LC10), 0.06 (LC25), and 0.14 (LC50) μg/g of a larval medium. Exposure of M. domestica larvae to these concentrations resulted in reduced fecundity, survival, longevity and oviposition period, and delayed development of immature stages (i.e., egg hatch time and larval and pupal durations) in the upcoming generation of M. domestica. The values of population parameters such as intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase, net reproductive rate, age-specific survival rate and fecundity, and age-stage life expectancy and reproductive value, analyzed using the age-stage and two-sex life table theory, were significantly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner in comparison with the control group. In conclusion, the study highlights the significant effects of cyromazine on the biology of M. domestica that could help suppress its population in cases of severe infestations.

TOXICS 2023; 11:971. [PMID: 38133372 PMCID: PMC10747274 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11120971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Alydidae) is a major soybean pest in East Asia that can cause soybean staygreen syndrome. To date, no insecticides have been registered for the control of R. pedestris in China, and these insects are primarily controlled in the field through the application of broad-spectrum insecticides including lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) and emamectin benzoate (EMB). Here, the lethal and sublethal effects of LCT and EMB on R. pedestris were comprehensively evaluated. LCT and EMB were both found to exhibit high levels of toxicity and concentration-dependent repellent effects for R. pedestris. The exposure of third instar nymphs from the F0 generation to LC30 concentrations of LCT and EMB resulted in a significant increase in the duration of nymph development and adult pre-oviposition period (APOP), together with reductions in fifth instar nymph and adult body weight, longevity, oviposition days, fecundity, vitellarium length, lateral oviduct diameter, and vitellogenin (Vg) gene expression as compared to control treatment. Strikingly, these suppressive effects were transmitted to the F1 generation, which similarly experienced the prolongation of preadult development and the preoviposition period (TPOP). Relative to control-treated populations, the F1 generation for these insecticide-treated groups also exhibited significant decreases in population parameter values. Overall, these data offer new insight into the impact that LCT and EMB treatment can have on R. pedestris, providing a valuable foundation for the application of these pesticides in the context of integrated pest management strategies aimed at soybean crop preservation.

Khan HAA. Monitoring resistance to methomyl and synergism in the non-target Musca domestica from cotton fields of Punjab and Sindh provinces, Pakistan. Sci Rep 2023; 13:7074. [PMID: 37127684 PMCID: PMC10151320 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-34331-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Insecticides are an integral part of most of the cropping systems worldwide; however, these usually exert negative impact on the environment and non-target insects as well. Non-target insects are prone to develop resistance to insecticides due to prolonged and repeated lethal and sublethal exposures. Musca domestica is a common non-target, pollinator and nectar feeder species in cotton ecosystem, besides its status as a public health pest in human habitations. In the present work, resistance to methomyl, one of the major insecticides used for cotton pest management, was assessed in 20 M. domestica strains from the major cotton producing areas of the Punjab and Sindh provinces of Pakistan. The results revealed that toxicity values of methomyl for Punjabi and Sindhi strains ranged from 28.07 to 136.16 µg fly-1 and 29.32 to 136.87 µg fly-1, respectively. Among Punjabi strains, D.G. Khan, Lodhran, Bahawalpur, Toba Tek Singh, Bahawalnagar, Rajanpur and Jhang strains exhibited very high levels of resistance (RR > 100) to methomyl; Bhakkar, Kasur, Vehari, Layyah, Muzaffargarh and R.Y. Khan showed high resistance (RR = 51-100 fold), while the Mianwali strain showed a moderate level of resistance to methomyl (RR = 36.45 fold). In case of Sindhi strains, very high levels of resistance (> 100 fold) were reported for Sukkar and Sanghar strains, high levels of resistance (RR 51-100 fold) for Khairpur, Jamshoro and Ghotki, and moderate resistance to methomyl (38.08 fold) in the Dadu strain. There was a significant synergism of methomyl toxicity in all field strains when methomyl bioassayed along with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and S,S,S-tributylphosphorotrithioate (DEF) providing clues of metabolic-based mechanisms of resistance to methomyl. In conclusion, insecticides used in crop farming can cause resistance development in non-target M. domestica. It is necessary to adopt the pest management activities that are safe for the environment and non-target insect species.

Abstract
Housefly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is an important insect-pest owing to its disease transmitting capability in both humans and animals e.g. diarrhea, gastroenteritis diseases, lumpy skin disease, cholera. Residual insecticides are widely used to control houseflies that pose serious threat to human and animal health as well as to the environment. The population resurgence after insecticidal spray is also a common problem in many cases. Transgenerational studies can be very helpful to see the fate of insecticidal sprays. In the current study, we determined transgenerational effects of sublethal doses of diafenthiuron using Age-stage two-sex life table analysis, while focusing on potential use of diafenthiuron in baits. After treating adult flies with three different doses of diafenthiuron viz. LC10, LC20 and LC50, the progeny depicted significant changes regarding pre-adult duration (shorter in control), male and female longevity of their progeny were observed (more adult longevity in control). Additionally, population growth parameters viz. intrinsic rate of growth (r) (-0.03-0.12 per day), net reproductive rate (R0) (0.50-9.98), limiting rate of growth (λ) (0.96-1.13 per day) were also significantly reduced in the progeny of treated adults. Based on the decreased biotic potential i.e. intrinsic rate of growth and other population parameters, diafenthiuron can be recommended as an effective insecticide even at lower doses.

Abstract
Insecticidal control of insect pests of rice crop may influence the environment and nontarget species in rice fields. Aedes albopictus, one of the most common nontarget species present in rice fields, received lethal and sublethal exposures to insecticides used in rice cultivated fields. The present work explores the effects of insecticides in six non-targeted Ae. albopictus strains collected from rice fields with a history of insecticidal usage in comparison with a laboratory susceptible reference strain (REF) and a strain (LHR) collected from a rice field with no, or minimal, history of insecticidal usage. Two types of effects, the resistance development and performance of biological traits, were studied by selecting seven commonly used insecticides in rice fields in Punjab, Pakistan. The results revealed that the strains collected from the rice fields with histories of insecticidal usage exhibited significant levels of resistance to flonicamid, chlorantraniliprole, gamma-cyhalothrin, fipronil, monomehypo, triazophos, and carbofuran, when compared with REF and LHR strains. In addition, Ae. albopictus strains revealed a significantly weaker performance of biological traits (rate of pupae formation, survival of male and female adults (except females of OKR and MTN strains), and ovipositing females) than those of the REF and LHR strains. However, the fecundity of all field strains was only significantly different with that of the REF strain. In conclusion, the results highlight the problem of the negative effects of insecticidal usage in rice fields on nontarget species present in the same environment, and emphasize the need to adopt pest management activities that are safe for the environment.

Abstract
The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a primary pest of soybean, poses a severe threat to soybean production. In this study, the 4th instar nymphs were exposed to the LC50 and LC30 of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam from F0 to F4 generations to evaluate the activities of peroxidase, pyruvate kinase, and trehalase using microassay. We found that peroxidase and pyruvate kinase activities in soybean aphids increased rapidly, first to peak and then decreased slowly generation by generation under imidacloprid and thiamethoxam stress. In contrast, the trehalase activity was significantly decreased in F1 to F5 generations when treated with the LC50 and LC30 and imidacloprid and thiamethoxam compared to control. In addition, the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to monitor the changes in molting and juvenile hormone expressions of the soybean aphids in each generation (F1-F5). The expression of juvenile hormone in soybean aphids was increased significantly in each generation under continuous stress of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam LC50 imidacloprid and LC50 thiamethoxam inhibited the expression of molting hormones in soybean aphids of each generation. LC30 imidacloprid or LC30 thiamethoxam significantly stimulated the expression of molting hormone in the 1st and 2nd instar nymphs in each generation. In this paper, the differences in antioxidant regulation, energy metabolism intensity, and hormone expression of multi-generation soybean aphids were monitored under continuous stress of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. Our results revealed the effects of continuous insecticide stress on the main endogenous substances. Further, they clarified the regulation rules of resistance in soybean aphids, providing a reference for efficient control with imidacloprid and thiamethoxam.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum insecticides can have deleterious effects on insects and the environment. The use of nanoparticles synthesized from microbes has recently gained importance as a safe alternative to conventional insecticides. Recently, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized using Bacillus thuringiensis have shown insecticidal potential; however, in addition to its acute toxicity, it is necessary to determine possible sublethal effects at the organismal level to understand the toxicity of a new insecticide. Bt-derived enzymes such as nitrate reductase and other biomolecules play a vital role in the reduction of metal ions to metal nanoparticles. Here, we assessed the acute toxicity and sublethal effects of ZnO nanoparticles produced in the culture supernatant of B. thuringiensis ser. israelensis (Bti) as a reducing agent on the biological traits of Musca domestica. RESULTS Concentration-response larval bioassays using different concentrations of ZnO-Bti-supernatant nanoparticles revealed LC10 , LC20 , LC50 and LC90 values of 4.17, 6.11, 12.73 and 38.90 μg g-1 of larval diet, respectively. Exposure of M. domestica larvae to two concentrations (LC10 and LC20 ) resulted in a lengthened developmental time (egg to adult) and preoviposition period, and reduced fecundity, survival, longevity and oviposition period. Furthermore, population parameters including net reproductive rate, mean generation time, age-specific survival rate, fecundity, life expectancy and reproductive values, analyzed following age-stage and two-sex life table theory, were significantly decreased after exposure to these concentrations of ZnO-Bti-supernatant nanoparticles compared with the control. CONCLUSION ZnO-Bti-supernatant nanoparticles were shown to be toxic to M. domestica. Exposure of M. domestica to low concentrations of ZnO-Bti-supernatant nanoparticles resulted in negative transgenerational effects on progeny production in this fly. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a primary pest of soybeans and poses a serious threat to soybean production. Our studies were conducted to understand the effects of different concentrations of insecticides (imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) on A. glycines and provided critical information for its effective management. Here, we found that the mean generation time and adult and total pre-nymphiposition periods of the LC50 imidacloprid- and thiamethoxam-treatment groups were significantly longer than those of the control group, although the adult pre-nymphiposition period in LC30 imidacloprid and thiamethoxam treatment groups was significantly shorter than that of the control group. Additionally, the mean fecundity per female adult, net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, and finite rate of increase of the LC30 imidacloprid-treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group and higher than those of the LC50 imidacloprid-treatment group (P < 0.05). Moreover, both insecticides exerted stress effects on A. glycines, and specimens treated with the two insecticides at the LC50 showed a significant decrease in their growth rates relative to those treated with the insecticides at LC30. These results provide a reference for exploring the effects of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam on A. glycines population dynamics in the field and offer insight to agricultural producers on the potential of low-lethal concentrations of insecticides to stimulate insect reproduction during insecticide application.
