A simple mass-rearing method for predaceous Orius bugs in the laboratory

Trial of a quantified mass rearing method for Toxorhynchites splendens.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in laboratory rearing of Toxorhynchites mosquitoes for use as biological control agents (Vongtangswad and Trpis 1980) and foi the assay of dengue viruses (Eshita et al. 1982). Although larvae of these mosquitoes are cannibalistic (Steffan and Evenhuis 1981), mass rearing methods have been described for some species which have yielded pupation...

Pheromone Blends of Predaceous Bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Podisus spp.)

Male predaceous stink bugs (Pentatom idae: A sopinae) in the genus Podisus release longrange a ttrac tan t pherom ones from a pair o f hypertrophied glands opening underneath the wings. Pherom one com positions are reported for four additional Podisus spp.: two N eotropi­ cal species (P. connexivus and an undeterm ined Podisus sp.), and two N earctic species (P. placidus and P. mucronatus). M a...

Mass rearing of anopheles stephensi on human blood by artificial feeding under laboratory conditions

Introduction: In order to control the diseases that are transmitted to human and animal by arthropod vectors, it is necessary to investigate vectors and to recognize control methods as well. These studies are applicable by rearing the colonies of arthropod blood-feeders like malaria and leishmaniasis in laboratory. The purpose of this study was to produce mass production of Anopheles stephens...
