sericata Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and Musca domestica L. (Diptera:
Muscidae) under Laboratory Conditions]]>SalehVahid SoltaniAboozar DabaghmaneshTahere AlipourHamzeh AziziKourosh Moemenbellah-FardMohammad Djaefar 52014115Life cycles of insects play a fundamental role in their subsequent activities.
This study was designed to establish a colony of two medically important flies
in the laboratory to construct their life tables and to compare baseline parameters
of their survival. Adult blowflies, Lucilia sericata were collected from
different slaughterhouses and meat processing plants. Adult house-flies Musca
domestica were collected from different poultry farms and dairy plants.
Both species were kept in rearing cages at 28±2°C average temperature,
50±5% relative humidity and 12 h photoperiodicity. Baseline parameters
of their life cycles were recorded and life tables were developed for both species.
Total survival rate were measured as 73.76±2.47 and 72.83±1.98%
for L. sericata and M. domestica, respectively. Net reproduction
rates for L. sericata and M. domestica were obtained as 3.398
and 2.206, respectively. The survival curve of both species was classified as
type IV. The results confirmed the efficiency of applied diets for optimum development
of both species. Based on these results, it could be concluded that both populations
may be reared simultaneously to reduce extra labour and costs.]]>Acton, C.,20072156159Anderson, G.S.,200045824832Bexfield, A., Y. Nigam, S. Thomas and N.A.
