Hormesis and stage specific toxicity induced by cadmium in an insect model, the queen blowfly, Phormia regina Meig.

“…For all experiments a standard stock laboratory diet was prepared (Stoffolano, 1974). From this stock 50 ml (50 g) of diet per treatment group was removed using a ladle sampling device (Fisher brand cat no.…”

“…In experiments 1-3, all groups were maintained in the previously described fly rearing room (Stoffolano, 1974). In experiments 4-7, all groups were maintained in a Pervical Growth Chamber (28±2 °C, and 70% r.h. on a 16:8 light:dark photo regime).…”

Rearing the larvae of the blowfly Chrysomya chloropyga (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Calliphoridae) on oligidic diets

“…chloropyga, an African blowfly recently introduced in Southern Brazil (lmbiriba et al, 1978;Guimariies et al, 1978Guimariies et al, , 1980 is easily reared in laboratory conditions, being an animal particularly useful for biological experiments. Stoffolano (1974) developed an oligidic diet in which the ingredients were whole dried milk, dried brewer's yeast and water. His results have demonstrated satisfactory development of the gonads and accessory reproductive glands of the black blowfly Phormia regina (Meigen).…”

Juvenile hormone regulation of reproduction in the cyclorrhaphous diptera with emphasis on oogenesis

“…Pupal and adult fat bodies are found to co-exist in the newly emerged adults of cyclorrhaphous flies of the following genera: Sarcophaga (Day, 1943), Calliphora (Thomsen, 1952), Protophormia (Harlow, 1956), Drosophila (Butterworth, 1972), Musca (Adams and Nelson, 1970), and Phormia (Stoffolano, 1974).

“…Yamamoto et al (1988), using in vitro experiments, showed that either JH III or the JH analog hydroprene stimulated protein synthesis by the ARGs. In P. regina, Stoffolano (1974) indirectly showed that in sugar-fed flies, which have low levels of JH compared to protein-fed flies, the ARGs need higher levels of JH to develop.…”
