摘要
Action of neuroactive chemicals on sex pheromone-mediated behavior of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Orthoptera: Blattellidae). Bull, Inst. Zool. Academia Sinica 30(1): 1.8. The effects of several neuropharmacological agents and insecticides on sex pheromone-mediated behavior of male German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), were investigated. A screening assay was adapted from the bioassay method developed for isolating and identifying the natural sex pheromone from female German cockroaches. Test conditions were optimized and standardized for the screening assay. Wing-raising behavior of male German cockroaches in response to pheromone stimulation was inhibited by pretreatment with either sublethal doses of insecticides of selected neuropharmacological agents. The insecticide chlordimeform inhibited the wing-raising behavior of males in a dose-dependent manner.
