Yong Ihl Park and Ashok Raina. USDA, ARS Southern Regional Research Center, 1100 Robert E. Lee Blvd, New Orleans, LA

The periodic titers of juvenile hormone III (JH III) were determined for worker, pre-soldier, soldier, virgin female alate, mated female alate, and mated male alate of the Formosan subterranean termites Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. Quantitative evaluations of JH III in the termite species were the first time in this experiment.

Species 1: Isoptera Rhinotermitidae Coptotermes formosanus (Formosan subterranean termite)
Keywords: Juvenile hormone III, GC-MS
