Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the published work on Hippelates pusio taxonomy, life cycle, behavior, flight range, medical importance, and Hippelates control is presented. Following the literature review is a comprehensive bibliographic listing of Hippelates references. The author concludes that the primary emphasis in developing an eye-gnat control program at Robins AFB, Georgia, should be placed on controlling the adults. Currently, the control of immature stages would be impractical because of the Federal restrictions placed on the use of residual insecticides and the expense of treating large eye-gnat breeding areas. Of the adult control procedures available, insecticide treatments similar to those used for mosquito control would be the most promising approach because of the Air Force's inability to treat off-base areas, and the time and expense required to develop a control program using any of the other available control techniques.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eye gnat, Hippelates puslo Loew, belongs to the family Chloropidae of the order Diptera. The taxonomy of the genus Hippelates has been discussed by Aldrich (1929) and Sabrosky (I94l). Hippelates gnats have been linked with the mechanical transmission of yaws (Kumm and Turner, 1936), conjunctivitis (Herms, 1926) and bovine mastitis (Sanders, 1940). Early reference to the pestiferous habits of the eye gnat was made by Schwarz (1895) who encountered large populations in Alabama, Texas, and Florida. Members of the genera are found abundantly throughout the southeastern and southwestern United States. They have also been recorded in Central and South America. Several extensive control programs have been initiated in southern California where eye gnats have become particularly troublesome. Recent work on chemical control has been performed by Dow and Willis (1959) and Mulla (1963). An effective and practical means of control has not been developed. With the success of the screw-worm eradication project in Florida (Knipling, 1960). Interest has been directed toward the use of the sterilized male technique for other Insect pests. The use of sterilized insects is a form of control in which the males are sterilized by either radiation or chemicals and released in large numbers to compete with normal males for females in the natural population. Females which mate with sterile males lay infertile eggs. Continued release of sterilized male Insects brings about a rapid reduction of the population. Recent developments with compounds called chemical sterilants have overshadowed the use of radiation for inducing sterility in insects. But the use of radiation to sterilize insects may have advantages over the use of chemicals (Von Borstel, 1960) in that radiation doses can be controlled very accurately, affects only the desired insect species, and does not cause dangerous contamination. Radiation sterilization programs need not be concerned with insect resistance, residue hazards, and detrimental effects on fish and wildlife. Response to radiation in insects may be immediate as with cessation of growth (Grosch, 1956) or apparent after longer periods such as shortening of the life span, reduction of fertility and fecundity, and failure to react normally to the environment. Subtle changes occur in the physiology and genetic transfer mechanism in the irradiated insect. Research employing radiation effects have followed two main trends. These include application of radiation to insect control and fundamental studies in genetics and cytology. The numbers of species used in all radiation studies have been relatively few. The author has been unable to find any literature on the effects of radiation on H. pusio . The objective of this study is to provide basic biological information concerning the effects of radiation on the eye gnat. The studies reported here deal specifically with: (l) the sterilizing dose for each sex treated in both the pupal and the adult state, (2) the effects of the sterilizing dose on male competitiveness when treated in the pupal and the adult stage, (3) the lethal effects of radiation on the stages of the life cycle, and (h) the determination of the morphological and cytological effects of gamma radiation on the reproductive organs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Second Edition, has been fully updated and revised to provide the latest information on developments in entomology relating to public health and veterinary importance. Each chapter is structured with the student in mind, organized by the major headings of Taxonomy, Morphology, Life History, Behavior and Ecology, Public Health and Veterinary Importance, and Prevention and Control. This second edition includes separate chapters devoted to each of the taxonomic groups of insects and arachnids of medical or veterinary concern, including spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. Internationally recognized editors Mullen and Durden include extensive coverage of both medical and veterinary entomological importance. This book is designed for teaching and research faculty in medical and veterinary schools that provide a course in vector borne diseases and medical entomology; parasitologists, entomologists, and government scientists responsible for oversight and monitoring of insect vector borne diseases; and medical and veterinary school libraries and libraries at institutions with strong programs in entomology.
