Phagostimulants of Haematophagous Tabanids (Diptera)

Abstract: Factors that monitor the dispatch of ingested food to crop and/or midgut were examined. Amino acids in aqueous solution (at 0.05 M and 0.005 M) with fixed pH were largely ineffective, however, some activity was noticed when a select group of these were offered in a phosphate buffer (0.133 M: pH 7.4). Of the three nucleotides tested (ATP, ADP and AMP), only ATP in phosphate buffer showed stimulatory effect. The crop was the locus of ingested sugars and blood was dispatched to the midgut immediately after ingest… Show more

“…However, Bracken & Thorsteinson [28] found that black or white decoys simulating warmth of mammalian hosts were not significantly more attractive to tabanids than similar objects at ambient temperature. On the other hand, when a female tabanid has landed on a host, heat is also required to stimulate her blood-sucking [47]. Thus, the role of the surface temperature of the hosts in the host choice of tabanids is equivocal.…”

“…The usual order of potency is ATP > ADP > AMP > adenosine (not all groups respond to all compounds). For black flies (Sutcliffe & Mclver, 1975 and horse flies (Lall, 1969;Friend & Stoffolano, 1983Galun et al, 1988), ADP is more potent than ATP.…”
