| evaluation of a barrier to inhibit lesser mealworm (coleoptera: tenebrionidae) and dermestidae movement in high-rise, caged-layer poultry facilities. | an evaluation of a mechanical barrier to prevent movement of adult and larval lesser mealworm, alphitobius diaperinus (panzer); larder beetle, dermestes lardarius l.; and hide beetle, dermestes maculatus de geer was conducted in caged-layer poultry facilities in new york and maine. the barrier, a plastic collar wrapped around building support posts, proved highly effective at preventing movement of adult lesser mealworms. significantly more lesser mealworm larvae were recovered from cardboard co ... | 2005 | 16334349 |
| cold resistance in the lesser mealworm alphitobius diaperinus (panzer) (coleoptera: tenebrionidae). | we have investigated cold resistance, measured by the supercooling point (scp) temperature, in life stages of the lesser mealworm, alphitobius diaperinus (coleoptera: tenebrionidae), collected in brittany poultry houses. mean scp values drastically increased during the insect ontogeny: egg (-26.1 c), first instar larvae (-21.6 c), last instar larvae (-15.5 c), pupae (-11.6 c), teneral adults (-12.0 c) and mature adults (-13.1 c). nymphal metamorphosis and adult maturation did not promote substan ... | 2013 | 12819832 |
| uniform distribution of satellite dna variants on the chromosomes of tenebrionid species alphitobius diaperinus and tenebrio molitor. | the chromosomes of tenebrionid species alphitobius diaperinus contain large blocks of pericentromerically located constitutive heterochromatin, as revealed by c-banding procedure. as previously reported, satellite dna of this species is composed of two related monomeric units organized in three satellite subfamilies. in order to analyze the chromosomal location of the satellite dna and the distribution of monomeric variants within it, and compare it with the distribution of monomer variants in t ... | 1995 | 8598348 |
| analysis of divergence of alphitobius diaperinus satellite dna--roles of recombination, replication slippage and gene conversion. | satellite dna is highly abundant in alphitobius diaperinus (tenebrionidae, coleoptera), comprising 25% of the total genomic dna. sequence analysis reveals an average gc content of 50.8% and the presence of three different groups of satellite monomer variants, th1, th2 and th3 with corresponding lengths of 123, 128 and 126 bp. their mutual homologies range between 65 and 81%. sequence comparison shows that the monomer variant th2 has been formed by a recombination process between th1 and th3, whi ... | 1994 | 8107677 |
| occupational sensitivity to tenebrio molitor linnaeus (yellow mealworm). | tenebrio molitor is an abundant stored-grain pest in the northern united states. we evaluated an individual with work-related symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis on exposure to this insect. prick skin tests with extracts prepared from the larval, pupal, and adult-life stages were positive for the patient and for another individual with allergy to a closely related species of beetle, alphitobius diaperinus. specific ige antibodies to the extracts were demonstrated by rast. rast inhibition demonstrate ... | 1990 | 2384648 |
| occupational sensitivity to alphitobius diaperinus (panzer) (lesser mealworm). | alphitobius diaperinus is an important beetle in the grain and poultry industries. we evaluated three individuals with work-related symptoms of asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria, and angioedema on exposure to the insect. prick skin tests with extracts prepared from the larval, pupal, and adult life stages were positive in all three patients. specific ige antibodies to these extracts were demonstrated by rast or radioimmunoassay. rast and radioimmunoassay inhibition confirmed the specif ... | 1988 | 2462582 |
