Abstract

AbstractActivities of a range of pyrethroidal esters, incorporating structural variations in all regions of the acid and alcohol components, have been measured against two fully characterised and homozygous resistant strains of Musca domestica L. (kdr and super‐kdr). The results, limited in this paper to esters of alcohols with cyclic side chains, indicate uniform resistance to the kdr strain across the whole range of structural variations. Against the super‐kdr strain, while variation in the acid component has little effect, the resistance factor is sensitive to the nature of the alcohol component, in particular on whether it contains an α‐cyano substituent.
