Abstract

Wild Drosophila flies can be collected on fermenting
sugary, flavourous fruits or vegetables [1-2]. Marked difference
have been observed with respect to insecticide resistance
between laboratory reared flies and those collected freshly
from the field [3-4]. As the present workers were embarking
upon genotoxicity as well as resistance studies, mass rearing
of resistant and susceptible strains of D. melanogaster, obtained
from a Swiss laboratory was of utmost importance. Six
strains of Drosophila melanogaster,
