Cuterebra lepusculi Townsend parasitize cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus nuttallii) in southern Idaho. Peak parasitism was 69% in mid-September. Mean development time in the host was 27 days. The species is univoltine in Idaho. Partially developed larvae were transferred from freshly killed to living hosts and the resulting larvae matured normally. Developing pupae were cooled or warmed to retard or speed development and synchronize adult emergence.
汤森氏兔疽蝇寄生于爱达荷州南部的棉尾兔(纳氏林兔)。9月中旬寄生率峰值为69%。在宿主体内的平均发育时间为27天。该物种在爱达荷州一年发生一代。将部分发育的幼虫从刚杀死的宿主体内转移到活宿主体内,结果幼虫正常成熟。对发育中的蛹进行降温或升温处理,以延缓或加速发育,并使成虫羽化同步。
