Abstract
The use of highly radioactive tritium-tagged permetrine (1.5 Ci/mmol) to study the uptake of the pesticide by sensitive and resistant strain s of housefly (with LD50 of 2 and 22 ppm, respectively) and its metabo lism is described. The dynamics of the uptake, metabolism, and excreti on of permetrine are determined. The high radioactivity of the tagged pesticide made it possible to analyze individual specimens. The resist ance of the R strain results from low permeability of the cuticle and a high rate of metabolism of permetrine. The methods described can be used to study mechanisms of resistance and to monitor the development of resistance in natural populations.
