Evans Blue as a Simple Method to Discriminate Mosquitoes’ Feeding Choice on Small Laboratory Animals
BACKGROUND Temperature, humidity, vision, and particularly odor, are external cues that play essential roles to mosquito blood feeding and oviposition. Entomological and behavioral studies employ well-established methods to evaluate mosquito attraction or repellency and to identify the source of the blood meal. Despite the efficacy of such methods, the costs involved in the production or acquis...
متن کاملA New Method for Marking Small Laboratory Animals.
If, therefore, amber has a resistivity of 10-'8Q/cm, XMS has about 3 x 10-'7Q/cm. The new material ranks very close to amber in its insulating qualities and will in many cases be a very good substitute for it. Its resistivity is equal to or perhaps a little higher than quartz, but the ease of molding it will make it superior to quartz. Whereas amber insulators are usually flamed to remove surfa...
متن کاملModern ways of feeding laboratory animals.
There is a trend in the feeding habits of biologists-that is, in the way they feed their animals, not themselves-going back some 20 or 30 years. It starts with the homely methods of pet-keeping: for mice, bread soaked in milk with a handful of oats and an occasional lettuce or dandelion leaf; through the preparation of sticky mashes of various kinds, with or without supplements; the offering of...
متن کاملA simple anaesthetic apparatus for small animals.
This apparatus was developed for the anaesthesia of small animals, including infant and adult mice, rats, guinea-pigs, rabbits, and rhesus monkeys. The general layout of the apparatus is shown in the diagram. The apparatus consists of an electric pump which drives air through a two-way tap connected to two tubes in an ether container. One of the tubes reaches well below the surface of the ether...
متن کاملA Simple Method to Improve Hazelnut Grafting
Hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. However, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. Grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. Unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. Here, we report the hypo...
