Genetic parameters of the house fly (Musca domestica Linn.)

Creator:

Konanta, Sugsanguan

Abstract:

Eight strains of housefly, Musca domestica Linn., from two laboratories were intercrossed to form a stock population. Virgin males and females from the stock were collected, and nine sets, each consisting of twelve males mated to five females, were successively done. Pupae weight, adult weight, emergence time and egg production...

Naphthalene resistance in a house fly strain : its inheritance and characteristics

Creator:

Schafer, James Arnold

Abstract:

A combination of genetical and biochemical methods were utilized in investigating house fly resistance to naphthalene. The inheritance of resistance was determined by crossing a naphthalene resistant strain of Musca domestica L. with a susceptible mutant marker strain. Biochemical comparisons were made on substrains isolated from the progeny of these...

Induction of microsomal oxidases by dieldrin in house flies

Creator:

Walker, Charles Robert

Abstract:

Previous investigations have shown that exposure to DDT results in increased activity in soluble and microsomal enzyme in insects. These responses in DDT-resistant Triatoma infestans nymphs and in adults of DDT-resistant Musca domestica (the common house fly) are accompanied by increased RNA and protein synthesis. The phenomenon has been termed...
