NAL call number: 421 J822
Abstract: Previous research revealed that exposure to ginger root oil, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, containing the known male attractant (a-copaene) increased the mating success of male Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), from a newly established laboratory colony. The goal of the current study was to determine whether exposure to ginger root oil likewise enhanced the mating competitiveness of irradiated C. capitata males from a 5-yr-old mass-reared strain. Mating tests were conducted in field cages containing guava trees (Psidium guajava l.) to monitor the mating frequency of irradiated, mass-reared and wild males competing for wild females. In the absence of chemical exposure, wild males outcompeted the mass-reared males and obtained 74% of all matings. However, following exposure to ginger root oil (20 microl for 6 h), the mating frequencies were reversed. Whether exposed as mature (3-d-old) or immature (1-d-old) adults, mass-reared males achieved approximately 75% of all matings in tests conducted 2 or 4 d following exposure, respectively. Irradiated, mass-reared males prevented from contacting the oil directly (i.e., exposed to the odor only for 6 h) still exhibited a mating advantage over wild males. In an additional study, signaling levels and female arrivals were compared between males exposed to ginger root oil and nonexposed males, but no significant differences were detected. The implications of these findings for the sterile insect technique are discussed.

NAL call number: 500 N21P
Abstract: Leishmania promastigotes synthesize an abundance of phosphoglycans, either attached to the cell surface through phosphatidylinositol anchors (lipophosphoglycan, LPG) or secreted as protein-containing glycoconjugates. These phosphoglycans are thought to promote the survival of the parasite within both its vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. The relative contributions of different phosphoglycan-containing molecules in Leishmania sand fly interactions were tested by using mutants specifically deficient in either total phosphoglycans of LPG alone. Leishmania donovani promastigotes deficient in both LPG and protein-linked phosphoglycans because of loss of LPG2 (encoding the Golgi GDP-Man transporter) failed to survive the hydrolytic environment within the early blood-fed midgut. In contrast, L. donovani and Leishmania major mutants deficient solely in LPG expression because of loss of LPG1 (involved in biosynthesis of the core oligosaccharide LPG domain) had only a slight reduction in the survival and growth of promastigotes within the early blood-fed midgut. The ability of the LPG1-deficient promastigotes to persist in the midgut after blood meal excretion was completely lost, and this defect was correlated with their inability to bind to midgut epithelial cells in vitro. For both mutants, when phosphoglycan expression was restored to wild-type levels by reintroduction of LPG1 or LPG2 (as appropriate), then the wild-type phenotype was also restored. We conclude, first, that LPG is not essential for survival in the early blood-fed midgut but, along with other secreted phosphoglycan-containing glycoconjugates, can protect promastigotes from the digestive enzymes in the gut and, second, that LPG is required to mediate midgut attachment and to maintain infection in the fly during excretion of the digested blood meal.

Abstract: A major advance in sterile insect release programs against tephritid fruit fly pests has been the development of genetic sexing strains, which allow the production of males-only lines for field release. Genetic sexing strains both reduce the costs associated with mass rearing and enhance the mating effectiveness of sterile males. Research and application of genetic sexing strains has been limited largely to the Mediterranean fruit fly. However, translocation-based genetic sexing strains based on pupal color mutants have been constructed in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). Here, we describe the results of laboratory tests on B. dorsalis that compared the relative success of males from a translocation-based sexing strain and wild males in mating competition for wild females. Additional tests examined the effect of irradiation and exposure to methyl eugenol on the mating frequency of males from the genetic sexing strain.

NAL call number: QL461.P5
Abstract: This study aimed to quantify effects of the host plant on oogenesis in the walnut-husk-infesting fly, Rhagoletis juglandis cresson (Diptera: Tephritidae), and to assess the role of physical cues in those effects. In laboratory assays, the presence of fruit was manipulated independently of the presence of foliage for newly emerged females. After eight days, in each of two trials, females with fruit were found to have significantly higher egg loads than females without fruit. Foliage presence had little effect. In a second experiment, females held with fruit or a fruit model (plastic yellow sphere of a size similar to fruit) had significantly higher egg loads than females held with neither fruit nor model. Egg loads of females with fruit were not significantly different from those of females with models. In a third experiment, females were held with spheres of various colours or no sphere at all. Females with yellow or green spheres (similar to the colour of walnut fruit) had significantly higher egg loads than females with black, blue or red spheres of other colours or females without spheres. In a fourth experiment, females held with spheres had significantly higher egg loads than females held with cubes of equivalent surface area or females held without a model. Finally, cohorts of newly emerged females held with yellow spheres or without spheres were sampled periodically. In the sphere treatment, mean egg load increased sharply from negligible levels between days 8 and 10. The pattern was similar in the no-sphere treatment, although the increase in egg load appeared to occur a day later. From these experiments, we conclude that physical host fruit stimuli known to be important in host selection in Rhagoletis flies, including colour and shape, also enhance oogenesis in the first egg maturation cycle, and that enhancement of oogenesis via these stimuli requires neither nutritional input from the fruit nor prior egg deposition.

NAL call number: QL461.E4
Abstract: 1. Seasonality is a prime selective factor promoting genetic differentiation of populations. Local adaptation in diapause response was investigated in the two geographically and altitudinally widespread dung flies Scathophaga stercoraria (Diptera: Scathophagidae) and Sepsis cynipsea (Diptera: Sepsidae). 2. Replicate sibships from three sites in Switzerland with low and high altitude dung fly populations were raised in a common laboratory environment simulating the natural decreasing photoperiod and temperature regimen before winter. From field phenologies, the critical photoperiod inducing diapause was predicted to be longer for high than for low altitude populations (12 vs. 10 h for Sc. stercoraria, and 12.25 vs. 11 h for Se. cynipsea) if they are locally adapted. 3. Contrary to expectation and to Sc. stercoraria, which diapauses in the pupal stage, Se. cynipsea diapauses in the adult stage. 4. Low but significant levels of genetic differentiation in pre-winter adult emergence were evident between low and high altitude populations of both species, but they were far from the differences predicted. Scathophaga stercoraria also showed geographical differentiation independent of altitude. 5. Sepsis cynipsea females stopped reproducing at some point before winter, but altitude did not affect the timing of adult diapause. High altitude females and females that did not initiate reproduction before winter survived the simulated winter better. 6. Both species largely used temperature rather than photoperiod as a cue inducing winter diapause, an untypical case of phenotypic plasticity. The hypothesis that Sc. stercoraria, whose generation times are much longer than those of Se. cynipsea, responds to a greater extent to temperature rather than photoperiod only was rejected.

NAL call number: 448.9 IN74
Abstract: The sandfly Lutzomyia evansi from a focus of visceral leishmaniasis in northern Columbia was reared and maintained under laboratory conditions for five generations. The average time for total development was 41.9 days (range = 35.1-49.6) at 25 degrees C and 89-95% of relative humidity. The mean number of eggs laid was lower in laboratory bred females either in pots (13.2 eggs/female) or vials (29.9 eggs/female) than in wild caught females (33.4 eggs/female). Immature mortality, mainly due to fungal and mite contamination, was higher during the first two instars than in the remaining immature stages. Adults were robust and healthy although difficult to feed on hamster or chick skin membrane. In summary, Lu. evansi is a colonizable species but requires specific conditions.

NAL call number: 421 J828
Abstract: The Afrotropical complex of sibling species Anopleles gambiae giles includes the most efficient vectors of human malaria south of the Sahara. Anopheles arabiens is Patton and An. gambiae s.s. giles are the members of the complex more adapted to the human environment. They are sympatric and synchronic over most of their distribution range; however, they show a different involvement in malaria transmission, with An. gambiae being more anthropophilic and endophilic than An. arabiensis. Discriminating between them is essential for a correct assessment of epid emiological parameters. The identification is currently achieved through recogni tion of species-specific chromosomal inversions or by molecular biology techniques. Both methods require considerable technical resources, not always available in the field. We carried out a morphometric analysis of field and laboratory samples of An. arabiensis and An. gambiae s.s. from sites in Madagascar, Burkina Fa so, Mali, and Liberia to evaluate the degree of morphological differentiation. We examined 17 morphometric characters in samples representing each of the geographic sites. All of the measures were significantly larger for An. arabiensis (regardless of the collection site), demonstrating an intrinsic greater body size of this species. To assess the reliability associated with the multivariate statistic, we applied the discriminant function analysis, which provided a method for predicting to which group a new case will most likely be assigned. In a blind experiment, the morphometric method correctly identified approximately 85% of fie ld-collected An. arabiensis and An. gambiae s.s., which provided a relatively simple method to approximate the relative frequencies of the 2 species in areas in which their concurrent presence was already known. The influence of laboratory conditions on the morphometrics of the 2 species was also analyzed.

NAL call number: QD415.A1J6
Abstract: In indoor laboratory-cage and outdoor field-cage assays, we evaluated the attraction of released, protein-fed, mature Mediterranean fruit fly females to six volatile compounds emitted by attractive crushed ripe coffee fruit: 3-methyl-1-butanal, decanal, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-(Z)-pentenol, 2-(E)-hexenol, and 2-heptanone. Previous tests in a wind tunnel indicated that each of these six compounds was more attractive than clean air to females. In laboratory cage assays, none of the compounds elicited a response significantly greater than that to water. In field-cage assays, 2 or 4 microliter of 2-heptanone in 5 ml of water (but none of the other compounds at 2 or 4 microliter in 5 ml of water) consistently attracted protein-fed medflies at significant levels that averaged about five times greater than attraction to water alone, although about 40% less than attraction to odor of coffee fruit extract. All types of mature protein-fed females tested (laboratory-cultured virgin, laboratory-cultured mated, wild mated) in field-cage assays responded similarly to 2-heptanone, whereas same-age (9- to 11-day-old) protein-deprived females did not respond significantly to 2-heptanone. Response of protein-fed females to 2-heptanone increased progressively with increasing dose (1, 2, 4, or 8 microliter in 5 ml of water). Addition of 2 microliter of 2-heptanone or 2 microliter of any of the other compounds tested to 5 ml of water extract of coffee fruit did not enhance attractiveness of the extract. Relative to response to water, protein-fed females consistently exhibited a significant positive response to odor of coffee fruit extract but no significant response to odor of Nulure (a proteinaceous food attractant). Together, our findings suggest that mature protein-fed females were responding to 2-hep-tanone as though it were an oviposition-site stimulus rather than a feeding-site stimulus.

NAL call number: QL461.E532
Abstract: Third instars of Eurosta solidaginis (Fitch) inhabit stem galls on goldenrod, Solidago spp., exposing them to cold, desiccation, and temperature instability. Because these conditions increase the risk of metabolic stress, the physiological conditioning of 3rd instars was examined between September and March for 2 successive years (1993-1994 and 1994-1995). The maximum and minimum air temperatures differed by 63 and 50 degrees C during 1993-1994 and 1994-1995, respectively. Subnormal temperatures prevailed most of the winter for 1993-1994, whereas an opposite trend existed during 1994-1995. Although subfreezing temperatures were still common during both years, temperatures were often above the larval supercooling point. The water content of larvae was stable throughout the study but their body mass and lipid content declined nearly 20% during each study period. Hemolymph osmolality rose from 0.5 Osmoles (September) to just above 1.3 Osmoles (January). The supercooling point rose from -11.4 to -9.8 degrees C between September and October; it then remained stable until declining in March. Some changes seen here (e.g., reducing supercooling capacity) likely facilitate the winter survival of the larvae; whereas, other physiological changes (e.g., loss of stored lipids) represent passive responses to the harsh gall environment. Moderate differences in winter severity between the 2 yr failed to appreciably alter larval use of energy reserves or their maintenance of cryoprotectant levels.

Abstract: Pollinator insect played an important role in increasing fruitset in mango Arumanis cultivar, but the population was relatively low at the time of blooming. The aim of this research was to determine and rear those pollinator insects. Result showed that pollinator insects that was previously grouped into Syrphus sp., in fact was Calliphora erythrocephala l., with popular name langau, having life cycle from egg, larvae, pre-pupa, pupa, and imago around 21 days. At Cukurgondang experimental garden with relative humidity less than 68.7 percent and temperature at 29-33 deg. C during dry season using rotten beef medium placed on watered soil-surface was good condition for langau reproduction where ten pairs of the langau produced 238 young male langau. Higher humidity above 68.7 percent with < 21,5 deg. C daily temperature as at Indrokilo Experimental Farm, Malang produced higher numbers of langau i.e. 1638-2647 young langaus. Artificial environment especially relative humidity < 68.7 percent and daily temperature 21.5 deg. C and food of decayed fish could speed up the rearing of C. erythrocephala to aid the mango fruit fertilization. The suitable environment in the field can be arranged before blooming, then followed by organic fertilizer application originated from decayed fish or garbage and watering the soil until field capacity.

Abstract: The effects of water quality during immature development on the vector competence of adult female Culex tarsalis coquillett for western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) and St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) viruses was evaluated during 6 field and 4 laboratory experiments. Immatures of the Bakersfield Field Station laboratory strain and the F1 progeny of field-collected females were reared in the field or laboratory and then infected by feeding on pledgets, after which remnants (head, thorax, abdomen), legs, and salivary secretions were tested for WEE or SLE virus to estimate infection, dissemination, and transmission rates, respectively. Although the salt content of the 6 larval habitats varied markedly (range, alkalinity 160-1,310 ppm CaCO3, conductivity 460-7,600 micromhos/cm, chlorides 22-1,560 ppm) and significantly altered immature survival, development time, and female body size (wing length), consistent changes in infection, dissemination, or transmission rates were not observed. Susceptibility (ID50) to WEE virus in field strains decreased as a linear function of developmental time, with populations from a dry alkali lake bed (Goose Lake) least susceptible. Three subsequent laboratory experiments that tested the effects of rearing immatures in dilution series of water from Goose Lake failed to produce consistent within or among experiment patterns in vector competence. A 4th laboratory experiment tested changes in NaCl concentration with negative results. Changes in female size was not related to vector competence. These and previous temperature studies indicated that temporal changes in vector competence observed within and among field populations probably were related to intrinsic genetic factors and were not related directly to extrinsic factors in the immature aquatic environment.

NAL call number: 421 J828
Abstract: Ecology and population dynamics of Aedes vexans (Meigen), were studied for 3 yr in southern Switzerland. Demographic data were compiled into single and multicohort stage-frequency lifetables that indicated variability in individual developmental times and losses caused by mortality. The structure of life table matrices suggested an analysis using a timevarying distributed delay model with attrition. Field data then were used to construct and validate a simulation model that input the number of 1st instars and output the number of emerging adults. The delay was the time required to complete development and attrition corresponded to mortality. Under optimal food supply, temperature was the most important driving variable. The model was parameterized with data obtained from laboratory experiments and evaluated with field data. Development and survival of preimaginal Ae. vexans were simulated reasonably well under 2 different pool habitats. Addition of a hydrology component to the model would enhance control operations by predicting hatch rates in the field.

NAL call number: QP501.C6
Abstract: In vivo protein expression in the abdominal viscera of C. v. sonorensis was examined from adult flies that were cold shocked for various lengths of time at 0, -10, or -15 degrees C and labelled at 25 degrees C with 35S-methionine at 0, 2, 4 and 6 hr during the recovery period. In vitro labelling showed that seven unique proteins (23, 40, 43, 48, 60, 70 and 92 kDa) were produced in (C. v. sonorensis exposed to low temperatures in vivo. In general, the rate of expression and quality of stress proteins were directly proportional to both the severity and duration of the cold shock. A polyclonal antibody to the moth hsp 60/63 crossreacted with antigen from the viscera of the 60 kDa protein that was expressed during recovery from cold shock. This crossreaction with C. v. sonorensis suggests that the 60 kDa protein expressed during recovery from cold shock in the midge is immunologically related to the moth heat shock protein (hsp). Weather records from central Wyoming suggest that if the stress proteins produced by C. v. sonorensis enhance survival of the earliest, normally lethal temperatures (e.g., -5 degrees C), populations of these insects can persist for an additional 20-30 d in an average year and thus extend the time they can transmit bluetongue virus.

NAL call number: 443.8 H42
Abstract: The abdominal colour pattern of Eristalis arbustorum is a plastic character which is heavily influenced by developmental temperature. The present study investigated the form of the reaction norms of amount of abdominal yellow and intensity of the yellow (measured as grey value) on pupal development temperature. The slope of the reaction norm for amount of yellow was steeper in males than in females. The reaction norms for grey value on temperature were nonlinear. Family groups were reared to enable a consideration of the genetics to be made. There were significant family by environment interactions for both characters for both sexes indicating genetic variance for plasticity. Pupal development time is closely correlated with developmental temperature. The relationship between amount of yellow on the abdomen and log pupal development time was curvilinear and fitted a guadratic function well. There was significant among-family variation in the slopes of these lines for females, but not for males, again suggesting genetic variation for plasticity. The results are discussed in relation to the maintenance of genetic variation.

NAL call number: QL461.P5
Abstract: Face flies overwinter as adults in reproductive diapause. Administration of 20-hydroxyecdysone and/or methoprene induced reproductive development in diapausing flies which were maintained in a diapause-inducing environment. Hormone effects were additive and female flies were more sensitive than males. Release of vitellogenin from cultured fat body was stimulated by 20-hydroxyecdysone or methoprene. Transfer of flies from diapause to diapause-breaking environments induced some to break diapause, but this decreased with the time flies had been in a diapause-inducing environment. In contrast, topical application of methoprene to diapausing flies induced reproductive development irrespective of their ages even when they were kept in the diapause-inducing environment for 80 day degrees above a 12 degrees C base temperature (14.5 days). Therefore diapause induction must depend on hormone levels less than some threshold level. The putative threshold varied according to diapause propensities of different genetic lines. Lines showing high frequencies of diapause required greater amounts of methoprene for reproductive development in diapause conditions than did lines showing low frequencies of diapause.

NAL call number: QR53.B56
Abstract: Starch-containing plastic films exposed to a natural freshwater environment were shown previously to undergo significant depletion of the starch components. The culture media from a number of starch-hydrolyzing bacteria that had been collected from larvae attached to these films were found to have alpha-amylase activity. Levels of amylase activity increased with culture age. Most of the activity was found to be cell-associated, and correlated on starch zymograms with an activity at about 55 kDa, in the >50% ammonium sulfate fractionation sample. The pH optimum for these amylases was just at or slightly above neutral, with a temperature optimum of about 65 degrees C.

ISSN: 0021-9258.
NAL call number: 381 J824
Abstract: The primary structure of a calcium channel beta subunit (betaM) from housefly (Musca domestica) has been deduced by cDNA cloning and sequence analysis. The open reading frame encodes a 441-amino acid polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 48,755 Da. Whole-mount in situ hybridization indicates that betaM mRNA is predominantly expressed in neuronal tissues. Transcription of betaM mRNA is evident from stage 13/14 of embryogenesis up to adulthood. Different expression patterns of splice variants were found in larvae and in adult fly heads. Amino acid identity between betaM and mammalian beta subunits is lower (66-68%) than within mammalian beta subunits (74-80%). Calculation of a phylogenetic tree indicates that betaM is an ancestral form of the four distinct beta subunit gene products identified in mammalian tissues so far. Despite these sequence differences, betaM is able to enhance endogenous calcium channel activity in Xenopus laevis oocytes as well as dihydropyridine binding to membranes from COS 7 cells transfected with rabbit heart alpha 1 cDNA in the same manner as was previously shown for mammalian beta subunits.

NAL call number: 421 J828
Abstract: Immature stages of Tabanus nigrovittatus macquart inhabit salt marsh sod. A study of the distribution of larvae in relation to the presence or absence of surface water showed that larval densities were higher in salt marsh areas that appeared well drained. Late instars remained above the sod surface more frequently in laboratory conditions mimicking high water-table levels. The development of anaerobic conditions in sod at high water levels probably deterred larvae from burrowing into the sod. Therefore, mosquito control ditches, constructed to augment interstitial drainage inadvertently may have created optimal tabanid larval habitat.

NAL call number: 421 J828
Abstract: Rapid cold-hardening was studied in the adult stage of the biting midge Culicoides variipennis sonorensis Wirth and Jones from a laboratory colony. No individuals could withstand a direct transfer from 20 degrees C (rearing temperature) to 10 degrees C for 2 h; however, an acclimation period of 1 h at 5 degrees C immediately before exposure to -10 degrees C yielded 96% survival. The cold-hardening response was very rapid; increased cold tolerance peaked after only a 1-h exposure to 5 degrees C. No fly withstood 2 h at 20 degrees C, demonstrating the limitations of the cold-hardening response. Varying degrees of cold tolerance also were induced by a 2-h exposure to 37 degrees C. The ability to rapidly cold-harden varied with the age of the adult insect. Rapid cold-hardening in adult C. v. sonorensis may be of ecological and epizootiological significance because it is a mechanism by which a nondiapausing life stage quickly can enhance its tolerance to subzero temperatures.

NAL call number: 448.9 L75A
Abstract: Previous studies on the morphological identification of adult female Simulium damnosum s.l. have involved use of colour characters. To determine the degree to which these qualitative characters are influenced by the physical environment, a portable rearing system was constructed. Wild-caught female flies and flies emerging from pupae maintained at ambient temperatures or above showed entirely pale antennae, fore-coxae, wing-tufts and hairs on the scutellum and ninth abdominal tergite, as is normal for S. sirbanum. Adults reared from larvae at below ambient temperatures were also pale, except for the antennae which were dark in all specimens. Adult females emerging from pupae maintained at below ambient temperatures were entirely pale up to the fourth day of emergence and mostly with dark antennae. The biological significance and the implications to the morphological identification of the savannah species of the S. damnosum complex in West Africa are discussed.

NAL call number: QL536.J686
Abstract: The effects of several environmental factors on mortality of adult Culicoides variipennis in the laboratory were evaluated. Daily mortality rates significantly increased when adult midges were maintained at an elevated constant temperature (26 degrees C). Adult C. variipennis handled the least during routine maintenance procedures had the lowest daily mortality rate. Survival was not significantly affected by varying density levels of adult midges in the size of container routinely used in our laboratory. Implications of these observations using adult C. variipennis for future studies are discussed.

Abstract: The mating activity of the olive fruit fly, Dacus oleae, is a rhythmical phenomenon, controlled by a circadian rhythm, occurring at the end of the photophase. Under continuous white light works as a free running rhythm for several days, with a periodicity of less than 24 hrs. The sexual activity, in both sexes, is controlled and synchronized by the same rhythm. The synchronization and the steady-state of the rhythm is defined by the length of the scotophase, which in fact controls the manifestation of the rhythm. Light intensity up to 45.000 lux able to mate daily for up to 40 consecutive days. Therefore about 12 hrs within the same period. The previous mating activity of males did not affect their sexual rhythm and activity, since they were able to mate daily for up to 40 consecutive days. Therefore they are characterized as polygamous. Non-irradiated males conveyed sperm to all their mating partners, most laboratory reared females, the sterilized ones were mating. Wild males mated less frequently than laboratory reared males, sterilized or not. Females, after each successful mating become sexually unreceptive for a period of several days. In fact, most females, wild or laboratory reared, sterilized or not mated twice, considerably fewer mated once and even fewer three times, thus characterized as oligogamous. Among laboratory reared females, the sterilized ones were mated more frequently than the non-sterilized, while wild females were mated less than both categories of the laboratory-reared.

NAL call number: 470 SCI2
Abstract: The rapid fixation of a rare allelic form of alpha-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase is related to a loss of competitive ability in nature of factory-reared screwworm flies. The increase in frequency results from selection for survival under conditions of domestication and rapid development at high constant temperatures in the factory.
