Circadian clocks orchestrate daily activity patterns and free running periods of locomotor activity under constant conditions. While the first often depends on temperature, the latter is temperature-compensated over a physiologically relevant range. Here, we explored the locomotor activity of the temperate housefly Musca domestica Under low temperatures, activity was centered round a major and ...

Chayote plants (Sechium edule) with monoecious characters require a pollination process. The process requires pollinating agents to increase its productivity, one of which is insects. This research aimed determine the diversity and abundance insects pollinator on chayote plants. Observation used scan sampling method. Pollinator observations were carried out in 3 time periods, morning, afternoon...

El trabajo de investigación fue realizado en la ciudad del Cusco, con el objetivo demostrar eficacia crianza biocontroladores naturales mosca doméstica (Musca domestica L.) como Spalangia endius Walker (1839) condiciones laboratorio a 3 499 msnm -ya que esta especie naturales, no se distribuye más 2800 msnm- dotando características ambientales humedad relativa y temperatura similares las mejora...

In the present work, a D-galactose-specific lectin with novel N-terminal sequence was purified from Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) pupae. The purification was performed using affinity chromatography, ultra-filtration, and HPLC. The haemagglutinating activity of M. domestica lectin was specifically inhibited by D-galactose. The haemagglutinating activity of this lectin was stable at temp...

The house fly, Musca domestica, occupies an unusual diversity of potentially septic niches compared with other sequenced Dipteran insects and is a vector of numerous diseases of humans and livestock. In the present study, we apply whole-transcriptome sequencing to identify genes whose expression is regulated in adult flies upon bacterial infection. We then combine the transcriptomic data with a...

Flies are one of a mechanical vector that could spread lot disease, they also often get associated as carriers diseases such cholera, typhoid, dysentery, diarrhea, and etc. The presence flies itself in place can be used an indicator the area was less hygienic. purpose this research to find out diversity fungi at Peterongan Market, Semarang. This explanatory study using survey method laboratory ...

Following preliminary screening of 13 ethanolic plant extracts, belonging to 10 different families, a total of 11 extracts were subjected to detailed toxicity evaluation against the larval stage of the housefly, Musca domestica L. The larvicidal LC50 values were < 100 ppm for Piper nigrum (50.1 ppm), Azadirachta indica (76.9 ppm), Conyza aegyptiaca (77.0 ppm) and Cichorium intybus (96.8 ppm); r...
