Abstract
Larvae of the house fly, face fly, horn fly, and stable fly were reared in media containing various concentrations of L-canavanine. Response in order of decreasing sensitivity was the stable fly, face fly, horn fly, and house fly. Only 18% house fly mortality was obtained from 800 ppm canavanine, a level which killed at least 70% of the other 3 species. Horn fly and face fly showed additional delayed concentration-dependent effects expressed as smaller pupal size, some degree of pupal deformation, and pupal mortality.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
