Hormonal termination of larval diapause in Dermacentor albipictus
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|January 24, 1969
Abstract:
The molting hormone, alpha-ecdysone, and an analog triangle up(7)-5beta-cholestene-2beta,3beta, 14alpha-triol-6-one when applied externally, terminates diapause in larvae of the winter tick, Dermacentor albpictus. This is the first reported hormonal termination of diapause in an arthropod other than an insect.
