Abstract：
:The Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) has a worldwide distribution and is considered of medical and veterinary importance. Its synanthropic behavior combined with the visitation of decaying organic matter allows it to mechanically transmit pathogens to human and animals. Pyrethroids are widely used pesticides, effective in low doses against a broad spectrum of insects. Our objective was to evaluate the action of K-Othrine® on the post-embryonic development of C. megacephala. First instar larvae were exposed to different concentrations of K-Othrine® (3.75 × 10-5 g a.i/mL (low), 7.5 × 10-5 g a.i/mL (intermediate low), 1.125 × 10-4 g a.i/mL (intermediate), 1.5 × 10-4 g a.i/mL (intermediate high), and 2.5 × 10-4 g a.i/mL (high)) mixed into artificial diets and a control with no pesticide. We measured weight, time of development, sex ratio, larval and pupal mortality, and esterase patterns. The mean weight values at intermediate low and intermediate concentrations were significantly lower compared with the control; additionally, the development time was delayed compared with the control. The larval and pupal mortality differed among the treatments. The larvae had six esterase regions, which altered its relative activity at 48 h and 72 h after insecticide ingestion. Further studies must investigate the effects of different insecticides on the post-embryonic development of C. megacephala.
