INFLUENCE OF SERUM ALBUMIN ON FECUNDITY AND WEIGHT OF THE PROGENY OF THE TSETSE FLY GLOSSINA PALPALIS PALPALIS

Abstract: Females of a membrane‐fed colony of G. p. palpalis (food source: fresh defibrinated bovine blood) were fed on derivatives of bovine blood, in which the red cell fraction remained unchanged while the serum fraction was replaced by an artificial solution. This solution consisted of a simple saline, isotonic to serum and enriched by bovine serum albumin with increasing concentrations. Physical parameters such as pH and osmolarity of all media were similar to controls. The absence of serum albumin in the food medi… Show more

“…The active principle which induce protease activity appears to be in the serum (Gooding 1974;Langley 1966). G. palpalis requires serum albumin for normal digestion of ingested RBC and normal rate of fecundity (Takken 1980). Chapman (1985) has compiled results of various workers on factors of host's blood which induce protease activity in Rhodnius, Aedes and Glossina.…”
