tailieunhanh - Assessment of barium carbonate toxicity on the developmental stages of sarcophaga ruficornis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

The flesh fly Sarcophaga ruficornis is a pest of veterinary importance as it affects various animals reared for livestock including cows, buffaloes, sheep, and goats causing myiasis, which results in huge economic loss to the livestock owners. Various attempts have been made to control this fly using different chemical formulations. Barium carbonate is highly toxic compound upon acute and chronic exposures. Barium compounds have been found to have a toxic effect on different animal models. These were found to be cytotoxic and genotoxic to WTHBF-6 cells; cardiotoxic in rabbits and have been found to show toxic effects on Rhabditis marina. | 2017 6 5 485-494 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 5 2017 pp. 485-494 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Assessment of Barium Carbonate Toxicity on the Developmental Stages of Sarcophaga ruficornis Diptera Sarcophagidae Zorawar Singh Amandeep Singh Manveen Kaur and Tajinder Kaur Department of Zoology Khalsa College Amritsar Punjab India-143001 Corresponding author ABSTRACT The flesh fly Sarcophaga ruficornis is a pest of veterinary importance as it affects various animals reared for livestock including cows buffaloes sheep and goats causing myiasis which results in huge economic loss to the livestock owners. Various attempts have been Keywords made to control this fly using different chemical formulations. Barium carbonate is highly Barium carbonate toxic compound upon acute and chronic exposures. Barium compounds have been found to toxicity Sarcophaga have a toxic effect on different animal models. These were found to be cytotoxic and ruficornis larvae genotoxic to WTHBF-6 cells cardiotoxic in rabbits and have been found to show toxic pupae mortality. effects on Rhabditis marina. As BaCO3 is a known rodenticide the effect of barium carbonate was observed on the developmental stages of S. ruficornis starting from larval stage till the adult emergence has been assessed in the present study so as to check the Article Info potency of BaCO3 as an effective control chemical for S. ruficornis. 3rd instar larvae of S. Accepted ruficornis were given an exposure of different graded concentrations 04 April 2017 and g ml of BaCO3 to observe the toxic effects on larval and pupal stages. To the Available Online best of our knowledge this is the first report on the toxicity of BaCO 3 on the different life 10 May 2017 stages of S. ruficornis. Results revealed the mild toxic effect on the .
