The Wiggle Index: An Open Source Bioassay to Assess Sub-Lethal Insecticide Response in Drosophila melanogaster.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Denecke Shane, Nowell Cameron J, Fournier-Level Alexandre, Perry Trent, Batterham Phil

Abstract excerpt

Toxicological assays measuring mortality are routinely used to describe insecticide response, but sub-lethal exposures to insecticides can select for resistance and yield additional biological information describing the ways in which an insecticide impacts the insect. Here we present the Wiggle Index (WI), a high-throughput method to quantify insecticide response by measuring the reduction in motility during...
