Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 植物病蟲害學系研究所 === 85 === Abstract The insecticide susceptibility in cat flea adult and larvae, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouch(), were examined in this experiment. The LC50s of cypermethrin, cyfluthrin, carbaryl, propoxur, fenthion, and chlorpyrifos to adult cat flea were 26.989 ug/cm2, 18.860 ug/cm2, 1.708 ug/cm2, 1.783 ug/cm2, 0.494 ug/cm2, 0.185 ug/cm2 respectively. The LC50s of fenthion, and chlorpyrifos, cyfluthrin, and cypermethrin, to cat flea larvae were 0.411 ug/cm2, 1.802 ug/cm2, 2.562 ug/cm2, 2.968 ug/cm2, respectively. Carbaryl and propoxur was unachievable in 50 % mortality in cat flea larvae even at the highest concentration treatment. The esterase in cat flea larvae showed the highest specific activities at pH 7.5. The specific activities of esterase were temperature dependent, the higher temperature the higher activity. But the reasonable physical reaction temperature should be at 27 0C. The enzyme concentration in the reaction mixture between 0.08-1 individual /ml gave the similar specific enzymatic activity. The incubation period of reaction time between 5-30 minutes made no different in the specific enzymatic activity. The esterase specific activity in 10 days old 3rd instar larvae had the highest activity and the 6 days old 3rd instar larvae had the lowest activity. In the 12 days old 3rd instar larvae also had the lower activity since the pupation proceeded. The components of esterase activity in cat flea larvae, carboxylesterase, cholinesterase and arylesterase, were 61.92 %, 28.08 % and 10.00 %, respectively. The specific activities of esterase in cat flea larvae were suppressed by by contacting to chlorpyrifos, propoxur and carbaryl. There were no significant effects on enzymatic activity distribution in individual larva after cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, fenthion and chlorpyrifos treatment. But after treated propoxur and carbaryl inhibited the esterase activity.
