TL;DR
Knock-down resistance in Musca domestica, which provides cross-resistance between DDT and pyrethroids, has been genetically separated from three different resistant populations and the cross-over rates between them indicated that these factors are probably identical.
Abstract
Abstract Knock‐down resistance in Musca domestica, which provides cross‐resistance between DDT and pyrethroids, has been genetically separated from three different resistant populations. After careful purification of each factor, the cross‐over rates between them and the visible mutants brown body and green eye were estimated. This indicated that these factors are probably identical. The influence and implications of the knock‐down resistance factor, kdr, on the total resistance of populations that include it are briefly discussed.

Four resistance factors were isolated genetically from the NPR strain of houseflies (Musca domestica L.), which resists natural pyrethrins, and were characterised toxicologically.

Resistance to these insecticides was inseparable, and the gene kdr-O apparently confers resistance to DDT, DDT analogs, and pyrethrins: piperonyl butoxide.

Evidence is presented that some of the products from DDT are produced in more than one step, and that primary and secondary reactions occur in microsomes of strain Fc only and are CO sensitive.

The penetration of insecticides into houseflies, with and without the factor that delays penetration, was studied by measuring the amounts of the insecticides on the surface of the flies at intervals after treatment.

Differences in resistance to different compounds suggest that at least three factors can confer resistance, one of which, pen, delays penetration and two others involve detoxication, one py a on the acid side of the ester linkage and the other, py b on the alcohol side.

A genetical analysis was undertaken for factors conferring DDT resistance in 2 strains of the house fly, Musca domestica L. Grothe and Orlando, finding both strains to possess a fifth chromosomal dominant which confers moderate resistance to DDT, but does not confer resistance to o -chloro DDT.

R3 seems to be the major factor of resistance to DDT in SKA flies when heterozygous R3 gives only moderate resistance toDDT, and seems to segregate together with a factor conferring weak resistance to diazinon.

A mutant eye color was isolated which proved to be linked to the dominant form of DDT‐mortality resistance (R) in the D+R20 substrain of the DDT 1 strain of house flies.
