Abstract
The resistance status to diazinon based organophosphorus insecticides has been examined in the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, a recent arri val to New Zealand. Samples, representative of the distribution of L. cuprina in New Zealand, were scored for the presence or absence of a m icrosomal esterase (E3) associated with resistance. Iso-female lines w ere generated from four sites to examine variation in resistance level s using toxicological data. Results from both techniques show resistan ce at a high frequency with some variation between sites.
