Abstract
The latent toxicity of aldrin, chlordane, DDT, diazinon, dieldrin, heptachlor, lindane, malathion, and methoxychlor was determined in resistant and susceptible strains of the house fly, Musca domestica L. In the susceptible SCR-60 strain, measureable latent toxicity was shown by aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, and heptachlor. No latent toxicity was exhibited by the other insecticides. Aldrin and heptachlor exhibited very low levels of latent toxicity to the resistant Hawaiian strain. The adults of the Hawaiian strain were significantly more resistant than the adults of the SCR-60 strain to all the insecticides tested except diazinon, to which both strains were equally susceptible. The larvae of the Hawaiian strain were particularly resistant to the polycyclic hydrocarbon insecticides.
