Informed Modeling of Blowfly Chemical Resistance

Outcomes from the analysis of the genetic characteristics of resistant blowfly phenotype and fitness values and the genes and mutations identified by UoM will be shared with UTAS. NSW DPI will also provide up to date resistance information, in the form of calculated resistance factors for field blowfly populations to the listed insecticides, the associated insecticide usage and flystrike management information (if available) to UTAS. These will inform evidence-based enhancements of UTAS’s Resistance Model, with review from UQ.
