Establishing a system with Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae) to assess the non-target effects of gut-active insecticidal compounds

Abstract: Potentially adverse effects on ecosystem functioning by the planting of insect-resistant, genetically engineered plants or by the direct application of insecticidal compounds are carefully evaluated in pre-market risk assessments. To date, few studies have assessed the potential risks of genetically engineered crops or insecticidal compounds on the survival and fitness of dipteran species, despite their important contribution to ecosystem services such as decomposition in agricultural systems. Therefore, we pr… Show more

“…Feeding experiments were conducted with a strain of D. melanogaster that had been used in earlier studies in our laboratory 16 . The flies were initially provided by W. J. Gehring (University of Basel, Switzerland) and cultured at Agroscope for several generations on an artificial diet according to Haller et al .…”
