AbstractAbstract
[en] Effects of gamma-irradiation on pupae of the house fly, Musca domestica L., were determined. Pupae of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-day old, when exposed to a single dose of gamma rays, showed that the younger pupae were more susceptible than older pupae. The 1- and 2-day age groups were fully susceptible to all levels of treatment where no emergence was observed. The 3-day and 4-day age groups were of equal susceptibility to irradiation where emergence of 23.50% and 24.84%, respectively, was recorded at 5 Kr only. Pupae failed to emerge at dosages of 10, 15 and 25 Kr. Emergence was observed at all dosages in the 5-day old group of pupae where there was a correlation between dosage and emergence. At 5 Kr and 10 Kr, 85% and 66.36% of flies, respectively, emerged. This figure declined to 22.54% at 15 Kr and 4.09% at 25 Kr. Males were less susceptible than females. Flies of both sexes emerging from irradiated pupae died earlier than the control flies

AbstractAbstract
[en] The accumulated effects of irradiated materials in the mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), ceratitis capitata (Wied) offsprings resulted from successively irradiated generations of eggs, pupae or adults were evaluated . Results showed that successive irradiation affected only the biological parameters that concern with the genetic cells i.e. sterility and fecundity. On the other hand, parameters concern the somatic cells i.e. Survival, sex-ration and mating activity were not significantly affected

AbstractAbstract
[en] The present study deals with some biochemical effects of gamma irradiation applied in sequence through five successive generations on eggs, pupae or adults of the fruit fly ceratitis capitata (Wied.). Only the lipid and carbohydrate contents in adults of F1 generation showed significant decrease when the treated eggs were used. High levels of lipids were detected in the females of all treated generations when the pupal stage was tested. Other inclusions were insignificantly changed. The direct effects of treatments on adults led to significant reductions in the total proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in some treated generations.9 Figs
