Effects of Gamma Radiation on the Fertility of the Common Cattle Grub, Hypoderma Lineatum (de Villers)

Effects of Gamma Radiation on the Fertility of the Common Cattle Grub, Hypoderma Lineatum (de Villers)

Summary At 9-13 days after collection from the backs of cattle as larvae, or 6-8 days before heel flies emerged, pupae of the common cattle grub, Hypoderma lineatum (de Villers), were exposed to 1000, 2500, 5000, or 7500 roentgens of gamma radiation from a 60Co source. Flies from irradiated pupae we...

Zusammenfassung:Summary At 9-13 days after collection from the backs of cattle as larvae, or 6-8 days before heel flies emerged, pupae of the common cattle grub, Hypoderma lineatum (de Villers), were exposed to 1000, 2500, 5000, or 7500 roentgens of gamma radiation from a 60Co source. Flies from irradiated pupae were mated with those from non-irradiated pupae to determine fertility of the treated individuals. At 5000 and 7500 roentgens both sexes were completely sterilized; at 2500 r females were completely sterilized and males exhibited reduced fertility.
