STUDIES ON LABORATORY REARING TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICALLY IMPORTANT ARTHROPODS

摘要

The objective of this project is the development of a shipping container that will enable entomologists to ship live insects of medical importance from the field to the laboratory over long distances.nThe shipping container used in this study was developed by the Cryo-Therm Corporation for the shipment of biologicals-and temperature sensitive instruments. The container consists of a urethane insulated drum along with four bottles of heat stabilizing material, "Transit Heet" is the commercial name of the heat storage material having an exceptionally high latent heat of fusion. Properly applied, this material assures a convenient and reliable source of heat or cooling at a constant temperature.
