Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: According to the classification of types of thermogene-sis, fleas are inherent in a complex RT-type paroxysm that is formed out of a calm (base) R-type thermogenesis with intermit-tent spikes of (active) T-thermo emission. Micro calorimetry allows us to study the influence of environmental temperature on the dynamics of metabolism of insects. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: A differential conductive micro calo-rimeter with a heat coupling of intermedi-ate type designed at Shevchenko National University of Kiev was used to carry out the series of experiments. Input sensitivity was set to 0.5 mW/mm of scale, time reso-lution �?? 30 seconds. The studies were con-ducted on groups of 10 imago X. Cheopis, in an insulated 2 cubic centimeter capsule during 2-3 days at 8 to 30 degrees centi-grade. Findings & Conclusions: The analysis of experimental results shows that the average strength of thermo emission increases as mW/g. The specific strength of active thermo emission of fleas is an average of 24% of the level of mail thermogenesis at 8 to 10 degrees centi-grade, and 84% at 25 to 30 degrees centi-grade accordingly. A growth of the level of a heat produced by fleas with rising environmental temperature indicates an increase in their motor activity and maintaining the viability.
