Abstract

Fenitrothion and permethrin are common insecticides for controlling veterinary insect pests in Japan. The efficacy of these two insecticides to the blow fly, Calliphora nigribarbis, was investigated, because the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus was detected and isolated from blow flies collected in the vicinity of an infected poultry farm in Kyoto Prefecture in 2004. The adult blow flies collected in Yamaguchi Prefecture, where the first HPAI outbreak occurred in 2004, were directly used for topical application. The LD_<50> values were 0.078μg/female for fenitrothion and 0.014μg/female for permethrin. The results show that the local population of the blow fly was susceptible to these two insecticides.
