The control of diuresis in the tsetse fly Glossina austeni: a preliminary investigation of the diuretic hormone.
نویسنده
چکیده
The rate of secretion of the Malpighian tubules of Glossina austeni is controlled by a diuretic hormone. This hormone is present in the nervous tissue of the fly together with a degradative enzyme that can be activated by boiling. It is demonstrated that the Malpighian tubules are able to destroy the diuretic hormone; they may therefore participate in the control of diuresis. The diuretic hormone appears to be a heat-stable, non-dialysable, alcohol-soluble molecule, containing amino acid, glucose and sialic acid residues.

A newly developed odour-baited "H trap" for the live collection of Glossina brevipalpis and Glossina austeni (Diptera: Glossinidae) in South Africa.
A new trap, named the "H trap", was developed at Hellsgate Tsetse Research Station in South Africa for the simultaneous collection of live Glossina brevipalpis Newstead and Glossina austeni Newstead. Its design followed an evaluation of the responses of the two species towards traps that are used elsewhere in Africa for the collection of other tsetse fly species. These traps were found at Hells...
متن کاملComparative genomics identifies male accessory gland proteins in five Glossina species
Accessory gland proteins (ACPs) are important reproductive proteins produced by the male accessory glands (MAGs) of most insect species. These proteins are essential for male insect fertility, and are transferred alongside semen to females during copulation. ACPs are poorly characterized in Glossina species (tsetse fly), the principal vector of the parasite that causes life-threatening Human Af...

The most effective odour attractant for G. brevipalpis Newstead, namely a combination of octenol released at c. 9.1 mg/h, 4-methyl phenol released at c. 15.5 mg/h and acetone released at c. 350 mg/h, when used together with the smallest recommended colour target (as determined in previous studies), namely a 1.75 m wide x 1 m high black/pthalogen-blue/black target, was evaluated for the control ...
متن کاملTheoretical levels of control as a function of mean temperature and spray efficacy in the aerial spraying of tsetse fly.
The hypothetical impact of aerial spraying on tsetse fly populations is investigated. Spray cycles are scheduled at intervals two days short of the first interlarval period and halted once the last of the female flies that originated from pre-spray-deposited pupae have been sprayed twice. The effect of temperature on the aerial spraying of tsetse, through its reproductive cycle and general popu...
