Reproductive parameters and Conversion Efficiency Index (CEI) of Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787) (Acari : Ixodidae) females under field and laboratory conditions
In Brazil, A. cajennense is the main vector of Rickettsia rickettsii, the etiological agent of «Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever». Besides the intense blood exploitation, the parasitism can affect the animal production capacity and usually determine leather depreciation, leading to secondary infections and myiasis. Although the adult stages have the equines as their preferable hosts, some authors [...
متن کاملFeline leukemia virus: survival under home and laboratory conditions.
Feline leukemia virus maintained its infectiousness in cell culture medium at 37 degrees C or lower for at least 48 h. However, virus in saliva or medium was inactivated within a few hours if allowed to dry.
متن کاملPlant Quantity Affects Development and Survival of a Gregarious Insect Herbivore and Its Endoparasitoid Wasp
Virtually all studies of plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions focus on plant quality as the major constraint on development and survival. However, for many gregarious feeding insect herbivores that feed on small or ephemeral plants, the quantity of resources is much more limiting, yet this area has received virtually no attention. Here, in both lab and semi-field experiments using tents c...
متن کامل[Larval development of Hypsophrys nicaraguensis (Pisces: Cichlidae) under laboratory conditions].
The cichlid Hypsophrys nicaraguensis is a popular fish known as butterfly, and despite its widespread use as pets, little is known about its reproductive biology. In order to contribute to this knowledge, the study describes the relevant larval development characteristics, from adult and larval cultures in captivity. Every 12h, samples of larvae were collected and observed under the microscope ...
متن کاملUse of Benthic Prey by Salmonids under Turbid Conditions in a Laboratory Stream
—The negative effect of turbidity on the reactive distance of salmonids has been well established. However, determining the consequences of this relationship for overall feeding success remains problematic, as successful foraging by salmonids across a broad range in turbidity has been observed under a variety of conditions. Previous laboratory and field observations suggest that benthic feeding...
