DIEL CHANGES IN DDT ABSORPTION AND BREAKDOWN RATES AND RESPIRATORY RHYTHM IN THE HOUSEFLY, MUSCA DOMESTICA

Abstract: Absorption rates in three strains of housefly show little variation when DDT is applied at different times during the 24‐hr cycle. Rates of breakdown of DDT to DDE, however, vary significantly at different times of the day with most rapid breakdown at 05.00–05.30 and 15.00 hr, corresponding to diel peaks in oxygen consumption. The pre‐dawn peak breakdown rates occur at the times at which the flies were found, previously, to be most susceptible to DDT, thus this change in susceptibility must have other causes. … Show more
