This study was conducted to investigate the resistance development and cross-res~stance of house fly (Musco dornestica L.) selected with chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos and permethrin for 11 generations to various p u p s of insectiodes. The resistance ratio (RR) of the chlorpyrifos-selected (Q), the d~chlorvos- selected (&) a d the permethrin-selected (R,) stmlns were 42 0. 38 and 187 tlrnes in female. and 42.0, 4 1 and 16.4 time; in male from the susceptible strain, respectively. The Rc strain showed highest cross-resistance to permethlin among the insectic~des tested: RR=7.5 and 9.6 tunes in female and male, respectively, whereas negatively correlated cross-resistance to propoxur was observed. High cross-res~atance to chlorpyrifos were produced for female (RR= 13.3) and male (RR=15.9) of Rd strain, and female (RR=8.7) and male (RR= 9 7) of R, strain. respectively
