ABSTRACT
A cyclic colony of P. papatasi was successfully established, using wild caught females. The major obstacle in the colonization was infestation of fungus, which was solved when bentonite, a dehydrant was mixed in the larval diet i.e., powdered and sterilized faecal pellets of rabbit. The average duration of development from egg to adult was 46.41 +/- 3.26 days. Females readily engorged on mouse, which was kept immobilized inside restrainer cages Majority of the fed females laid viable eggs, when confined in improvised styro-foam humidity chambers and survived after oviposition. In this process a stable, cyclic colony was established and it is now in F39 generation.
