| Abstract: | During in-vitro and in-vivo rearings of the chicken body louse, Menacanthus stramineus (Nitzsch), the incubation period of the eggs was 4–5 days and each of the 3 nymphal stages required 3 days. Rearings in vitro were most successful at 35°C and 95% RH. Mated females produced 0–4 eggs per day, and averaged 1.6 eggs a day during a 12.4 day adult life. Peak oviposition occurred when females were 5–6 days old. Attachment is the PhD thesis of same title by H.J. Stockdale submitted to Iowa State University of Science and Technology |
