Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the effects of thiamethoxam on the toxicity and enzyme activities in German cockroaches.
Field populations of Blattella germanica were treated with thiamethoxam.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities were measured before and after exposure.
Resistance levels were compared between field populations and a susceptible WHO strain.
Field populations showed low resistance levels to thiamethoxam, ranging from 1.88-3.24-fold compared to the WHO strain.
The WHO strain exhibited the lowest AChE activity both before and after exposure to thiamethoxam.
