LIPOID CONTENT AND RESISTANCE IN THE HOUSEFLY, MUSCA DOMESTICA L

Abstract: The lipoid content of several resistant and normal strains of houseflies was determined. A Swiss extremely DDT‐resistant strain had a much higher fat content than a normal Swiss reference strain and several Italian strains. Among the Italian strains, a chlordane‐resistant strain had a significantly higher fat content than a diazinon‐resistaat and a normal strain. This difference was no longer significant however, when the normal Swiss strain was included in the calculations. Iodine numbers, specific gravity an… Show more

“…The total lipid content of the larvae of G. mellonella and T. castaneum weye extracted by the Soxhlet apparatus, almost following the initial steps of the procedure of Ascher and Neri (1961) : The larvae were ground in a mortar with twice their weight of anhydrous Na,SO,, the mixture was left for one hour in a covered mortar and was then transferred quantitatively into a filter paper cylinder for Soxhlet extraction.…”

“…Housefly eggs (0.1 ml) were introduced into media .treated with toxicants in 600 ml beakers (as above). ** Length of larval and complete pre-imaginal development respectively of all the housefly strains used in this study was identical for practical purposes, except for strain K1, for which pre-imaginal development was also only slightly longer (ASCHER & NERI 1961). Before the emergence of the adults, the beakers were again, covered with filter paper, and thus the adults were allowed to hatch inside the beakers.…”
