摘要: Knowledge of the behavioral responses medically important flies to natural stimuli is critical for development vector control strategies. We designed, constructed, and operated dual-choice wind tunnel investigate blowfly, Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae), toward two extrinsic factors (wind speed olfactory stimuli) that affect flight behavior these flies. The appeared as a “T-box,” consisting stimulus partitions one median release partition. correlation between fly response showed marked relationship, with set at 0.5 m/s being optimal speed. Of 72 products tested, 24—all having high protein content—attracted level greater than 50% in rearing cages during preliminary tests, thus allowing further investigation assess responses. exposed screening odors cage those similar trend. One-day-tainted pork viscera yielded greatest positive among attracting 90% included test population. exhibited highest potency (1.578), exceeding 1-day-tainted beef liver, which commonly used standard bait blowflies. usefulness practical applications investigations are also discussed.
