Abstract

A committee has been established to regulate the movement of arthropods into and within the State of Florida which is composed of: Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry and Division of Animal Industry; Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services; University of Florida, Department of Entomology and Nematology; U. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service; U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Public Health Service, Foreign Quarantine Program; and Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. Among the organisms for which requests have been made (170 to date) are: insects, millipedes, mites, scorpions, spiders, ticks, snails, and protozoan malaria parasites. They were requested for a variety of studies, including insecticidal tests, biological control investigations with parasites and predators, genetic studies, and ant colonies, scorpions, and spiders for both scientific studies and as pets.
