Sex Attraction in the House Fly, Musca Domestica L.-
Attraction tests have shown that virgin female house flies attract both virgin males and females but the degree of attraction is relatively small. A tentative hypothesis of chemical sex attraction is suggested. The attraction does not appear to be due to moisture, motion, or sound effects. INTRODUCTION The development of insect strains resistant to various insecticides has created such serious ...
متن کاملThe linkage map of the house fly, Musca domestica L.
TOTAL of nine house fly mutants which occurred spontaneously or were A induced by X-ray were listed by two Russian investigators, SARKISSIAN (1941) and SEREBROVSKY (1941). These may have been the first attempts at the formal study of the genetics of Musca donestica L. Apparently these-investigators did not continue and extend this work subsequently. Recently, in connection with problems of resi...
متن کاملHouse Fly (Musca domestica L.) Attraction to Insect Honeydew
House flies are of major concern as vectors of food-borne pathogens to food crops. House flies are common pests on cattle feedlots and dairies, where they develop in and feed on animal waste. By contacting animal waste, house flies can acquire human pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., in addition to other bacteria, viruses, or parasites that may infect humans and a...
متن کاملIs Multifactorial Sex Determination in the House Fly, Musca domestica (L.), Stable Over Time?
Sex determination pathways evolve rapidly, usually because of turnover of master regulatory genes at the top of the developmental pathway. Polygenic sex determination is expected to be a transient state between ancestral and derived conditions. However, polygenic sex determination has been observed in numerous animal species, including the house fly, Musca domestica House fly males carry a male...
متن کاملIndoxacarb resistance in the house fly, Musca domestica
Indoxacarb (DPX-MP062) is a recently introduced oxadiazine insecticide with activity against a wide range of pests, including house flies. It is metabolically decarbomethoxylated to DCJW. Selection of field collected house flies with indoxacarb produced a New York indoxacarb-resistant (NYINDR) strain with >118-fold resistance after three generations. Resistance in NYINDR could be partially over...
