Abstract

The flesh fly Parasarcophaga argyrostoma were irraciated as one day old larvae at five dose levels of gamma radiation 5,7,10,15 and 30 Gy. In general, the concentration of the monovalent and divalent ions was increased by increasing the dosses of gamma-rays. This ranged from sharp increase for (K+, Mg++ and Pbt+) to a gradual one for (Na+ and Mn++) depending on the doses used.
