Ova were passthrough pseudoparasite pinworms originating from feeder roaches ( Blaptica dubia ). Roaches were maintained as a feeder colony and offered to tenrecs as a portion of their diet.
Dubia roach ( Blaptica dubia ) assignment into both the pilot study and the main study research groups (control, A-E).
Blaptica dubia as sentinels for exposure to chemical warfare agents
An alternative approach is the use of animals as sentinels for exposure to toxic chemicals. To overcome disadvantages of vertebrates the present pilot study was initiated to investigate the suitability of South American cockroaches ( Blaptica dubia ) as warning system for exposure to chemical warfare nerve and blister agents.

In conclusion, this first pilot study indicates that Blaptica dubia could serve as a warning system to exposure of chemical warfare agents.
Dubia roaches ( Blaptica dubia ) are a popular feeder insect but, like most other insects, have an inverse calcium to phosphorous (Ca:P) ratio. A plethora of insect diets claim to correct this inverse ratio, but limited evidence-based data exists. The goals of this study were to determine whether diets claiming to correct the Ca:P ratio can do so, to determine the effect of diet on the ...
Blaptica dubia
Reproduction Blaptica dubia is an ovoviviparous species, generally giving birth to live young, and pregnancy in one study lasted 48-64 days, in a 26°C (78.8°F) environment with alternating 12-hour light and dark photoperiods. [11]
Unfortunately, these models have yet to be incorporated into the drug development pipeline. The purpose of this work was to begin to evaluate the utility of orange spotted ( Blaptica dubia ) cockroaches in early antibiotic characterization.

Figure 1. Transmission cycle of Leidynema appendiculata through the dubia roach ( Blaptica dubia ) host and lesser hedgehog tenrec (Echinops telfairi) as a passthrough pseudoparasite. The diets of many of the NCMNS-maintained insectivore species include dubia roaches from the parasite-tested feeder roach breeder colony.
Blaptica dubia is a species of edible insect from which bioactive peptides can be generated using proteases, contributing to its potential health-promoting properties.
