Any deviation in ambient temperature causes stress and disturbs the cellular homeostasis in the organisms. In the present study, genotoxicity induced by exposure of high temperature (40o, 45o and 50oC) has been analyzed in the third instar larvae of common housefly, Musca domestica, by using chromosome aberration assay, micronucleus assay and mitotic index as cytological end points. The adverse...

Chayote plants (Sechium edule) with monoecious characters require a pollination process. The process requires pollinating agents to increase its productivity, one of which is insects. This research aimed determine the diversity and abundance insects pollinator on chayote plants. Observation used scan sampling method. Pollinator observations were carried out in 3 time periods, morning, afternoon...

El trabajo de investigación fue realizado en la ciudad del Cusco, con el objetivo demostrar eficacia crianza biocontroladores naturales mosca doméstica (Musca domestica L.) como Spalangia endius Walker (1839) condiciones laboratorio a 3 499 msnm -ya que esta especie naturales, no se distribuye más 2800 msnm- dotando características ambientales humedad relativa y temperatura similares las mejora...

BACKGROUND The larvae of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) have been used traditionally for malnutritional stagnation, decubital necrosis, osteomyelitis, ecthyma and lip scald and also to treat coma and gastric cancer in the traditional Chinese medicine. Its immunomodulatory effects in naïve mice in relation to the traditional uses were also reported. However, the immunological adjuvant poten...

The effectiveness of using biotesting in assessing the biological value milk products, based on inclusion products (skimmed and yogurt) diet imago a domestic fly ( Musca domestica ), has been established. authors determined dairy by comparing duration productive period life ) which were contained flew from they excluded.

Co-evolution between developmental regulatory elements is an important mechanism of evolution. This work compares the hunchback-bicoid interaction in the housefly Musca domestica with Drosophila melanogaster. The Musca HUNCHBACK protein is 66% conserved and partially rescues a hunchback mutant, yet the BICOID-dependent promoter (P2) of Musca hunchback is unexpectedly diverged from D. melanogast...
