Efficacy of herbal essential oils as insecticides against the housefly, Musca domestica L.
The insecticidal effects of 20 essential oils derived from herbs, were tested against the housefly species Musca domestica L. using a susceptibility test. Each was applied in ethyl alcohol at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10% (v/v). Ten percent concentrations of Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), Mentha piperita (peppermint) and Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oils were the most effective, showin...
متن کاملLarvicidal Activity of Some Botanical Extracts, Commercial Insecticides and their Binary Mixtures Against the Housefly, Musca Domestica L
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...
متن کاملInvestigations on the Mitochondria of the Housefly, Musca Domestica L
1. The ATPase activity of insect mitochondria has been investigated. A comparison was made to determine the distribution and nature of such activity in other isolated fractions of the house fly, Musca domestica L. 2. The ATPase in insect mitochondria is specific in that orthophosphate can be cleaved only from ATP. The Michaelis-Menten constant K(8) = 2.78 x 10(-3)M and V(max.) = 76 micrograms P...
متن کاملAnaerobic metabolism in the housefly, Musca domestica L.
Adult and immature individuals of many insect species can survive anaerobic conditions for periods ranging from 4 hr. to 4 days, and even in a few cases for longer periods up to 56 days (see Brand, 1946, for numerous references). The present paper describes an investigation into some effects of anoxia on adult Musca domestica. A preliminary account of part of this work has been published (Heslo...
متن کاملCircadian rhythm gene regulation in the housefly Musca domestica.
The circadian mechanism appears remarkably conserved between Drosophila and mammals, with basic underlying negative and positive feedback loops, cycling gene products, and temporally regulated nuclear transport involving a few key proteins. One of these negative regulators is PERIOD, which in Drosophila shows very similar temporal and spatial regulation to TIMELESS. Surprisingly, we observe tha...
