Abstract

A genetically marked insecticide-susceptible strain of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), has been developed by incorporating the orange-body trait into a stock containing the genomes of 2 of the most susceptible strains available. The new stock retained its susceptibility as indicated by tarsal contact tests with 12 insecticides. The integrity of the stock can be ensured by removing any wild type body color contaminants. This stock is well suited to become the standard-susceptible strain for the German cockroach and is available upon request.
