Effects of Some Heavy Metals on the Life-Table Parameters of Anopheles stephensi (Liston) (Diptera: Culicidae)
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The exposure sub lethal doses of three heavy metals, Cd, Fe and Mn as solutions of CdCl2, FeCl3 and MnCl2 resulted a variable increase in mortalities of various life stages (L1-L4, pupa), adult emergence and generation morality (k-factor). On the other hand, the developmental duration of various larval stages was declined significantly in early or late instars. Beside toxic and adverse effects of Cd, Fe and Mn salts on survival and longevity, stress of these heavy metals was found as accelerating factor for the larval development.
