摘要
A test was developed to detect the presence of insecticide-resistant acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in single insects based on the quasipermanent binding of proteins onto blotting membranes. The method is simple, sensitive, requires inexpensive equipment, and produces a permanent record of results. AChE activity is revealed by the Karnovsky & Roots staining technique in the presence of propoxur, or after exposure of the membrane to paraoxon and rinsing with water. We chose insecticide concentrations that inhibited the sensitive AChE while allowing detectable residual activity of the resistant AChE to remain. By comparing the staining of insecticide-treated and control membranes, susceptible and resistant genotypes for the AChE gene could be distinguished in laboratory strains of mosquitoes (Culex spp. and Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann) and the house fly (Musca domestica L.). Resistant AChE from mosquitoes was less susceptible both to propoxur and paraoxon than the corresponding sensitive AChE, whereas resistant AChE from house fly was less susceptible mainly to paraoxon. The technique worked well for mosquito adults and house fly heads but not for mosquito larvae. Blotted AChE did not show detectable loss of activity during storage of the membranes for 3 wk at 25-degrees-C. Storage is an important asset of the technique because transportation of live insect material to the laboratory may not be necessary.
