Nutritional status and insecticide tolerance in German cockroaches (Orthoptera: Blattellidae).
The interrelationship of two extrinsic factors-nutrition and pesticide exposure-was studied in German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.). Amount of dietary protein had no effect on susceptibility of male German cockroaches to propoxur and chlorpyrifos; however, the source of protein produced significant changes in insecticide susceptibility. Increased total body lipids, carbohydrates, and uric acid may have resulted in increased tolerance to these insecticides. Three days of food or water deprivation (or both) caused significant differences in susceptibility to chlorpyrifos and propoxur.

Effect of sublethal propoxur exposure on male German cockroaches (Orthoptera: Blattellidae) and their feeding behavior.
Exposure of male German cockroaches, Blattella germanica L., to propoxur produced significant water loss at 2 and 24 h after treatment. This effect was dependent upon the state of hydration before insecticide exposure. Hydrated males lost as much as 10% of their total body mass in the form of water; dehydrated males lost about 4.3%; and untreated controls lost approximately 1.8% during the same time period. No significant compensatory feeding responses were observed 1-4 d after treatment. Water depletion associated with propoxur exposure resulted in increased water consumption for the first 2 d after treatment and then reached a plateau for the duration of the study. Males consumed water daily regardless of insecticide exposure.
