Biological Fitness, Resistance Characterization, Resistance Risk Assessment And Evaluation Of Selected Baits On Fipronil- And Indoxacarb Bait-Selected Strains Of The German Cockroach, Blattella Germanica (Linnaeus) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)

This study focuses on insecticide resistance in the German cockroach. Several aspects were investigated, including biological fitness, insecticide toxicity, cross-resistance potential, resistance development and risk assessment, resistance mechanisms involved as well as bait performance evaluation....
