By topical application, Katsuda et al. determined LD50 values of natural pyrethrins and several pyrethroids against the pyrethroid-susceptible CSMA strain and the pyrethroid-resistant Hiroyama strain of M. domestica. The resistant strain was originally collected in 1996 from a hog farm in Hiroyama, Niigata Prefecture. Their resistance ratios, R/S, are shown in Table 3.
