Summary: This projects objectives were: 1) Design and test traps to capture live SWD adults for insecticide resistance studies. 2) Develop discriminating doses of insecticides to test susceptiility of SWD populations. 3) Complete development of primers for genetic analyses of SWD alleles that confer resistance. 4) Screen SWD from multiple districts in CA, OR and WA for insecticide susceptibility. 4) Correlate results from discriminating-dose and genetic studies.
