Characterization of permethrin resistance in a Musca domestica strain: resistance development, cross‐resistance potential and realized heritability

Background Permethrin (a pyrethroid) has been recommended for the management of a number of insect pests, including Musca domestica . Recently, resistance to permethrin has been reported from the Punjab province, Pakistan, which necessitates the need to manage the resistance problem. For this reason, a field strain of M. domestica was selected with permethrin for ten consecutive generations (G1–G10) to determine the risk assessment, the rapidity...
