We investigated the effects of immigration of individuals carrying susceptibility alleles on the level of resistance in populations of the house fly, Musca domestica L., selected for malathion resistance. Two types of males, WHO/IN males (homozygous for susceptibility genes) and A14-WHO males (heterozygous for the second chromosome) were released into the resistant populations in 1:9, 1:1, and 9:1 ratios of immigrant/resident males. In both experiments, we observed that increasing the ratio of immigrant to resident males from 1:9 to 9:1 caused an associated increase in mortality caused by malathion applications. Release of A14-WHO males was more effective in stopping the evolution of resistance in resistant populations than was release of WHO/IN males. Fitness parameters of resistant and susceptible strains were also compared. The WHO/IN strain had low viability and fecundity. R and A14-WHO males were longer-lived compared with WHO/IN males, although they did not differ in mating success.

GENETIC CONSEQUENCES OF LINKAGE BETWEEN MALATHION RESISTANCE AND AN AUTOSOMAL MALE-DETERMINING FACTOR IN HOUSE-FLY (DIPTERA, MUSCIDAE) KENCE, M; Kence, Aykut (1992-10-01) The pattern of inheritance of genes conferring resistance to malathion and genetic consequences of linkage between an autosomal male-determining factor and resistance genes on the second chromosome were investigated in a strain of house fly, Musca domestica L., selected for malathion resistance. The second and fifth chromosomes contribute significantly to malathion resistance. The presence of a male-determining factor linked with the resistance genes on the second chromosome resulted in a strong sexual dimo...
Determination of esterase enzyme polymorphism in house fly (Musca domestica L.) populations in Turkey TAŞKIN, VATAN; Taskin, Belgin Gocmen; KÜÇÜKAKYÜZ, KÖKSAL; Kence, Meral (2011-01-01) The objective of this study was to determine esterase enzyme polymorphism in 16 natural Musca domestica L. populations from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey by using the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique. The high level of genetic variation among populations and species make esterase enzymes an important tool for analyzing genetic differentiation and evolutionary relationships in insects. In the present study, 22 a-esterase bands were detected by using a-naphthylacetat...
Effect of malathion on larval competition in house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) populations Kence, M; Jdeidi, T (1997-02-01) We studied the competitive abilities of 2 strains of house flies, Musca domestica L., A14/WHO, a strain heterozygous for resistance gene(s), and bwb, a susceptible strain, at 4 densities 450, 900, 1,800, and 3,600 eggs per 100 g of medium in pure and mixed cultures in the absence and presence of malathion. Both genotypes exhibited lower survival, lower mean adult weight, and longer developmental time as the density increased in an environment Free of insecticide. There was a relative advantage of A14/WHO st...
Polymorphism of M factors in populations of the housefly, Musca domestica L., in Turkey Cakir, S; Kence, Aykut (2000-08-01) M factors, which determine maleness in Musca domestica, were found on the second, third, fourth and fifth linkage groups in housefly populations of Turkey. As in European populations, the male-determining factor was more frequently located on linkage group III (M-III). Some males homozygous or double heterozygous for M factors were identified. Deviations from a 1:1 sex ratio in favour of males, as well as mosaics for somatic marker mutations and sexual mosaics (gynandromorphs), were also observed. The resul...
The genetic basis of malathion resistance in Turkish house fly (Musca domestica L.) strains and worldwide distribution of MdαE7 alleles Taşkın, Vatan; Kence, Meral; Department of Biology (2002) Organophosphate (OP) insecticides (parathion / diazinon) resistance in house fly (Musca domestica L.) is associated with the change in carboxylesterase activity. The product of aE7 gene, which is a member of oc-esterase gene cluster, is probably playing a role in detoxyfication of the xenobiotic esters. In diazinon resistant Lucilia cuprina (blowfly) and diazinon / parathion resistant M.domestica species Gly137 to Asp substitution was found in the active center of the product of aE7. This enhance the abilit...
