The effects of the ingestion of some phytoecdysteroids were studied in the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata. Supernumerary moulting and malformations of first leg pairs were obtained with 22-oxo-20-hydroxy-ecdysone, 20-hydroxyecdysone-22-acetate, and 20-hydroxyecdysone-22-benzoate. Egg-yield was reduced with 20-hydroxyecdysone-22-acetate and carthamosterone. Finally, drying-out of eggs was observed with carthamosterone and 22-deoxy-20,26-dihydroxyecdysone. In addition, we demonstrated that there is a correlation between the number of completed gonotrophic cycles and the impossibility of inducing supernumerary moulting.
研究了某些植物蜕皮甾类对软蜱莫氏钝缘蜱的影响。22-氧代-20-羟基蜕皮酮、20-羟基蜕皮酮-22-乙酸酯和20-羟基蜕皮酮-22-苯甲酸酯可导致额外蜕皮和第一对腿畸形。20-羟基蜕皮酮-22-乙酸酯和红花甾酮可降低产卵量。最后,观察到红花甾酮和22-脱氧-20,26-二羟基蜕皮酮可使卵干涸。此外,我们还证明了完成的生殖营养周期数与诱导额外蜕皮的可能性之间存在相关性。
