| dc.description.abstract | The house fly (Musca domestica) is an insect that often be found in human habitat and acts as a transmitter of disease. This study is laboratory observatory that aimed to analyze the relationship between temperature and the survival rate and developmental period of immature house flies. The survival rate and developmental period of immature house flies were observed at temperatures of 16 ºC, 27 ºC, 31 ºC, 39 ºC and the environmental temperature as a control temperature. The results of observation showed the lowest immature survival rates occur at 16 ºC and the highest at the environmental temperature (26.53 ºC). The relationship pattern of temperature and survival rate and the rate of immature developmental form a quadratic equation. The results of data analysis showed the optimum temperature for the immature survival rate and the rate of immature developmental are 28 ºC. The pattern of temperature changes effect on immature developmental period differ from those on survival rate. The increasing of temperature caused the decreasing of immature developmental period form an exponential equation | en |
