PHYSIOLOGICAL ECOLOGY Development of Spalangia cameroni and Muscidifurax raptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on Live House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Pupae and Pupae Killed by Heat Shock, Irradiation, and Cold
The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of killed house ßy (Musca domestica L) pupae for production of two economically important pupal parasitoids. Two-day-old ßy pupae were subjected to heat shock treatments of varying temperatures and durations in an oven at 70%RH; exposure to temperatures of 55 Cor higher for 15min or longer resulted in 100%mortality. Exposure to 50 C re...
متن کاملHost and Habitat Use by Parasitoids (hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) of House Fly and Stable Fly (diptera: Muscidae) Pupae
House fly and stable fly pupae were collected during the summer from a dairy farm in northern Illinois. Spalangia nigroaenea accounted for most of the parasitoids recovered from house flies. Spalangia nigra, S. endius, Muscidifurax spp., and S. nigroaenea accounted for most of the parasitoids from stable flies. The majority of flies were house flies late in the summer and stable flies early in ...
متن کاملHost Suitability of House Fly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), Pupae Killed by High or Low Temperature Treatment for a Parastoid, Spalangia endius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
The objective of this study was to establish a high quality progeny production system for the house fly parasitoid, Spalangia endius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), by stockpiling hosts. We performed two host killing methods before host storage: (i) heat-killed by 30 min exposure to 50°C or (ii) freeze-killed by 10 min exposure to -80°C. The average number of parasitoids that emerged from nonstore...
متن کاملAssessment of parasitism of house fly and stable fly (Diptera: Muscidae) pupae by pteromalid (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitoids using a polymerase chain reaction assay.
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the ribosomal DNA of house flies, Musca domestica L., the stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), and four parasitoid species in the genus Muscidifurax (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) were characterized to develop a method based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to better define the role of pteromalid parasitism of pupae of the house fly and sta...
متن کاملEffects of eucalyptol on house fly (Diptera: Muscidae) and blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
The effects of eucalyptol were evaluated against the house fly, Musca domestica L., and blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (F.). The bioassay of adults, using topical application, indicated that M. domestica males were more susceptible than females, with the LD50 being 118 and 177 microg/fly, respectively. A higher LD50 of C. megacephala was obtained; 197 microg/fly for males and 221 microg/fly fo...
