Neoaplectana carpocapsae: Respiration of infective juveniles
Neoaplectana carpocapsae: Respiration of infective juveniles
- Nematologica, 26(no.2), p.214-219, 1980 .
The oxygen consumption of infective juveniles of the insect parasitic nematode Neoaplectana carpocapsae, grown at 20° or 25°, was studied at 13°, 15°, 20°, 25° and 30° and at different times after harvesting. Nematode tolerance of oxygen deprivation was also investigated. Oxygen consumption was temperature dependent and was generally higher in infectives that developed at 20° (Q10~ 6.3; 18 mm. 3/mg/h, 30°)than those that developed at 25° (Q. 10~ 3.6; 12 mm. 3/mg/h, 30°). Respiration rates of nematodes incubated in buffer solution after harvesting decreased approximately 65 per cent during the first 7 hours, then remained constant during the next 2 days. Infective nematodes survived 43 days with O. 2 only 0.5 per cent of saturation at 20°. © 1980 BRILL
