Effect of Altoside (ZR-515) on oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide out put and carbohydrate content of organophosphorus resistant strain of Musca domestica.
The effect of applying JHA ZR-515 at a concentration of 50 microliter/liter water in the larval rearing medium from the first larval instar on oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide out put and total carbohydrates was studied. The oxygen consumed by the pupae previously treated as larvae with ZR-515 was decreased and no adult could emerge. The carbon dioxide out put seems to follow a more or less the pattern of oxygen consumption. The concentration of total carbohydrate content in one day old pupae previously treated as larvae was significantly lower than normals. In three days old there was a marked significant increase and in five days old, the carbohydrate content was significantly higher than controls.
