چکیده

The impact of ULV resmethrin on urban Culex mosquitoes was evaluated in 4 field trials by monitoring daily oviposition rate. A well-defined oscillation of effect, with a period corresponding to the duration of the gonotrophic cycle, was observed. We postulate that this oscillation arises from changes in susceptibility following blood feeding and/or behavioral factors. The data indicate that a single treatment with ULV may be inadequate for the effective control of vector mosquitoes.

Apparent influence of the stage of blood meal digestion on the efficacy of ground applied ULV aerosols for the control of urban Culex mosquitoes. II. Laboratory evidence.

The susceptibility of adult Culex pipiens s.l., Culiseta melanura and Aedes aegypti to insecticide aerosols in wind tunnel exposures varied with time, depending on the stage of blood meal digestion. Greater than 2-fold differences were observed in the concentrations of malathion and synergized resmethrin required to kill test mosquitoes, depending on whether they had been given a blood meal and...

Walnut Meal as an Excellent Source of Energy and Protein for Growing Japanese Quails

The present study was designed to study the chemical composition, apparent and true metabolizable energy values of the walnut meal and to evaluate the effects of different levels of walnut meal (0, 10, 20 and 30%) on Japanese quail's growth performance, blood metabolites, relative weight of different organs, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in breast meat and egg yolks' cholesterol. This stu...
