| adult population estimate of toxorhynchites brevipalpis. | an estimate of the numbers of adults of the predacious mosquito toxorhynchites brevipalpis was made in a 1-ha biotope in dar es salaam, tanzania, where the population of its larval prey aedes aegypti was high, by means of the mark-release-recapture method. two months after the end of the rainy season, the number of adults was estimated to be 3 500-about 6 times the number of adult a. aegypti in the biotope. | 1973 | 4150432 |
| laboratory colonization of toxorhynchites brevipalpis. | toxorhynchites brevipalpis, a predator on larvae of aedes aegypti and other mosquitos, was successfully colonized in the laboratory. at 25 degrees c, embryonic development was completed within 50 hours of oviposition, while larval and pupal development together took a further 27-41 days. the adult mosquitos mated in cages as small as 15x15x15 cm, and the embryonated eggs were obtained 6-31 days after the adults emerged. | 1973 | 4149530 |
| ecological studies on the breeding of aedes aegypti and other mosquitos in shells of the giant african snail achatina fulica. | the breeding of larvae of aedes aegypti, aedes simpsoni, and eretmapodites quinquevittatus in empty shells of achatina fulica was studied in the coastal zone of dar es salaam, tanzania. the average density of shells was estimated to be 228 per ha. from 11 to 35% were positive for mosquito larvae. a. aegypti were found in 82-84% of positive shells; a. simpsoni in 8-13%. on msasani peninsula, during the 3-month rainy season april-june 1970, the larval density of a. aegypti in shells was estimated ... | 1973 | 4148745 |

| egg maturation and ecdysiotropic activity in extracts of mosquito (aedes aegypti) heads. | blood-fed, decapitated female aedes aegypti mosquitoes matured eggs when injected with an extract of heads, but non-blood-fed females did not. the response to head extract was optimal when the head was allowed to remain for 2 hr after feeding. a dose response to injected egg development neurosecretory hormone (ednh) was observed in vivo that was similar to in vitro dose responses previously reported. blood-fed decapitated females responded equally well to boiled or unboiled head extract. when bl ... | 1985 | 4065529 |
| dengue and hepatic failure. | dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome is a serious manifestation of dengue fever, which is observed predominantly in the tropical regions of the west pacific and in southeast asia and is associated with secondary infections, mainly in children under age 15. a concomitant microangiopathic coagulopathy has been described; moreover, encephalopathy and even reye's syndrome have been rarely reported. this report describes a 51-year-old man with secondary dengue infection who presented with c ... | 1985 | 4061482 |
| ultrastructure of midgut endocrine cells in the adult mosquito, aedes aegypti. | the ultrastructure of endocrine cells in the midgut of the adult mosquito, aedes aegypti, resembled that of endocrine cells in the vertebrate gastro-intestinal tract. midgut endocrine cells, positioned basally in the epithelium as single cells, were cone-shaped and smaller than the columnar digestive cells. the most distinctive characteristic of endocrine cells was numerous round secretory granules along the lateral and basal plasma membranes where contents of the granules were released by exocy ... | 1985 | 4060146 |
| [effect of mosquito contact with ddt and their susceptibility to the causative agent of malaria]. | the contact of aedes aegypti mosquitoes with ddt one hour prior to the infectious feeding results in a slight decrease of their susceptibility to plasmodium gallinaceum. the contact 24 hours prior to the infectious feeding does not affect the susceptibility of mosquitoes. | 1985 | 4047719 |

| transition from somatic to meiotic pairing and progressional changes of the synaptonemal complex in spermatocytes of aedes aegypti. | aedes aegypti spermatocytes were reconstructed from electron micrographs. the species has tight somatic pairing of the chromosomes, and there are therefore no classical leptotene and zygotene stages, but rather a gradual transition from somatic pairing to meiotic pairing (= pachytene). the term "prepachytene" has been used for the transitory stage. the first visible sign of impending meiosis was a reorganization of the chromatin, which resulted in the formation of spaces (synaptic spaces) in the ... | 1985 | 4042770 |
| argentophilic structures of spermatogenesis in the yellow fever mosquito. | application of the silver-staining technique to air-dried chromosome preparations of the yellow fever mosquito, aedes aegypti, revealed the following: 1) intensely stained pericentromeric regions in all chromosomes including the y chromosome in spermatogonia, and during the primary and secondary spermatocytes; 2) the presence of prepachytene that were not reported earlier; 3) a nucleolus organizing region that persisted up to the late pachytene stage; and 4) rod or ring-like centrioles in pachyt ... | 2006 | 4031466 |
| bioassays of bacillus sphaericus (strain 1593) against mosquitoes of public health importance in malaysia. | the pathogenicity of bacillus sphaericus strain 1593 was tested against laboratory-reared larvae of four local species of mosquitoes of public health importance in malaysia; aedes aegypti, anopheles balabacensis, mansonia uniformis and culex quinquefasciatus. the bacteria was shake-cultured at 28 +/- 1 degrees c for three days, using glucose-yeast extract salts medium. after which, the spores and vegetative cells were harvested and stored at 4 degrees c before use. conditions for bioassays were ... | 1985 | 4023816 |
| analysis of lipids by gas-liquid chromatography and complementary methods in four strains of aedes aegypti mosquitoes. | fatty acid composition of total lipids, neutral lipids and phospholipids of strains of aedes aegypti were determined. the fatty acid composition of the strains differed quantitatively with regard to the relative percentage of commonly occurring fatty acids. gas-liquid chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters showed 18:1 (oleic or elaidic) to be the predominant fatty acid. the fatty acid was identified as oleic by argentation thin-layer chromatography. a modified colorimetric method was used to ... | 2013 | 4017543 |

| plasmodium gallinaceum: sporozoite activity in immune mosquito hemolymph. | sporozoites of plasmodium gallinaceum are relatively inactive in hanks' balanced salt solution or in the hemolymph of the susceptible aedes aegypti mosquito. they become agitated and very active in the presence of the hemolymph of the innately immune mosquito, culex pipiens. sporozoites from the latter are more infective in chicks than the former. this behavior is likely the result of stimulation or irritation by the adverse environment. | 1985 | 3972059 |
| mechanical transmission of rift valley fever virus by hematophagous diptera. | experimental studies were conducted to determine if hematophagous diptera were capable of mechanical transmission of rift valley fever (rvf) virus to laboratory animals. all species tested (glossina morsitans, aedes aegypti, aedes taeniorhynchus, culex pipiens, stomoxys calcitrans, lutzomyia longipalpis, and culicoides variipennis) mechanically transmitted the virus to hamsters. mechanical transmission rates for g. morsitans ranged from 0-100%, with the probability of mechanical transmission pos ... | 1985 | 3970308 |
| increased biting rate and reduced fertility in sporozoite-infected mosquitoes. | because salivary function and blood location are impaired in sporozoite-infected mosquitoes, we determined whether such pathology also could lead to an increased biting rate. for 5 days, we compared relative daily biting rates of plasmodium gallinaceum sporozoite-infected mosquitoes (aedes aegypti) and noninfected mosquitoes with an olfactometer. mosquitoes then were exposed for 5 min to an anesthetized guinea pig. infected mosquitoes exhibited a significant increase in olfactometer response whi ... | 1986 | 3953943 |
| peptide nature of two mosquito natriuretic factors. | high-pressure liquid chromatography (hplc) of saline extracts of aedes aegypti heads yields three fractions (from a total of 108) that affect transepithelial voltage and/or fluid secretion in isolated aedes malpighian tubules. in this study we investigated the physical and chemical nature of the active materials in these fractions. gel-filtration chromatography revealed that the molecular weights of the three fractions were between 1,900 and 2,700. to test their thermostability the fractions wer ... | 1986 | 3953844 |
| isolation of a relatively nontoxic 65-kilodalton protein inclusion from the parasporal body of bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. | ultrastructural studies of the mosquitocidal bacterium bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis revealed that the parasporal body contained three major inclusion types, designated types 1, 2, and 3, which could be differentiated on the basis of electron opacity and size and, to some extent, shape. the type-2 inclusion, which was of moderate electron density and often appeared as a bar-shaped polyhedral body, was isolated on nabr gradients from purified parasporal bodies and characterized by sod ... | 1986 | 3944061 |

| development of dirofilaria immitis third stage larvae (nematoda: filarioidea) in micropore chambers implanted into surrogate hosts. | groups of 100 third stage larvae of dirofilaria immitis recovered from aedes aegypti were loaded into 250 microliters capacity micropore chambers (0.3 micron pore size) and implanted into the peritoneal cavity of mice, jirds, cotton rats and ferrets. in all hosts 74-87% of larvae moulted by 74 hours, with less than 5% mortality. the fourth stage worms recovered at 74 hours were cultured in vitro in l-15 (leibovitz) medium plus 20% foetal bovine serum with a dog sarcoma feeder cell line. after 96 ... | 1985 | 3890119 |
| the duration of larval life of aedes aegypti as affected by time of hatch. | when aedes aegypti eggs (1-10 wk old) were submerged in water, larvae that hatched in the 24 hr period following exposure to reduced oxygen developed significantly faster than larvae from the initial hatch. there were significant differences in the sex ratios between first- and second-hatch groups; however, adult size and fecundity did not differ significantly. | 1985 | 3880263 |
| location of esterase loci in aedes aegypti. | linkage relations of two loci, est-4 and est-6, have been studied in aedes aegypti. est-4 is on chromosome i, the sex chromosome, about 33 units from the sex region on the opposite side from red eye (re). this location is demonstrated for the first time. data for est-6 agree with results of other workers. | 1985 | 3880258 |
| high-resolution gradient polyacrylamide electrophoresis of isozymes of the mosquito, aedes aegypti. | a procedure for high resolution electrophoresis of isozymes of the mosquito aedes aegypti using nonlinear (2.5%-20%) polyacrylamide gradient gel slabs is described. crude mosquito homogenates were electrophoresed on gradient and on homogeneous (7%) polyacrylamide gels and stained for esterase (est), isocitrate dehydrogenase (idh) and malate dehydrogenase (mdh). the resulting zymograms were compared to demonstrate the high resolving power of the polyacrylamide gradient gel system. | 1985 | 3880252 |

| aedes aegypti: model for blood finding strategy and prediction of parasite manipulation. | aedes aegypti mosquitoes salivate during intradermal probing of vertebrate prey before ingesting blood (griffiths and gordon 1952). nonsalivating mosquitoes locate blood more slowly; this difference was ascribed to an anti-platelet activity found in the mosquito's saliva (ribeiro et al. 1984). mosquitoes infected with plasmodium gallinaceum suffer pathology that specifically impairs saliva anti-hemostatic activity but without reducing volume of output (rossignol et al. 1984). the complexity of t ... | 1985 | 3839460 |
| [new data on the transmission of filariae]. | this paper summarizes research of the past several years on two phases of filarial transmission: the ingestion of microfilariae by the vector and the regulation of the percentage of successful parasites by the vector. experiments involved several different models for study: injection of inert particles into the bloodstream of a rodent and their subsequent ingestion by a vector; ingestion of gametocytes of different ages by vectors of a rodent malaria; and a monkey simultaneously infected with fo ... | 1985 | 3836764 |
| rainfall, abundance of aedes aegypti and dengue infection in selangor, malaysia. | an epidemio-meteorotropic analytical study of selangor, in the southwest coast of peninsular malaysia, examines the monthly incidence of dengue for the period 1973-1982 to assess possible quantitative association with the monthly rainfall. the relationships between rainfall, abundance of a. aegypti and dengue infection during 1982 in jinjang, a dengue-prone area in selangor, were also examined. a quantitative association between rainfall and the number of dengue cases was found during the first ... | 1985 | 3835698 |
| selection for susceptibility and refractoriness of aedes aegypti to oral infection with yellow fever virus. | artificial selection on strains of aedes aegypti showing susceptibility and refractoriness to oral infection with yellow fever virus (yfv) suggests that there is a significant genetic component to this trait. using a population with an average susceptibility of 15%, inbreeding of isofemale lines followed by individual selection produced susceptible (29% infected) and refractory (11% infected) lines. the difference between lines was largely apparent before individual selection, which failed to in ... | 1985 | 3834805 |
| oral infection of aedes aegypti with yellow fever virus: geographic variation and genetic considerations. | twenty-eight populations representing a worldwide distribution of aedes aegypti were tested for their ability to become orally infected with yellow fever virus (yfv). populations had been analyzed for genetic variations at 11 isozyme loci and assigned to one of 8 genetic geographic groups of ae. aegypti. infection rates suggest that populations showing isozyme genetic relatedness also demonstrate similarity to oral infection rates with yfv. the findings support the hypothesis that genetic variat ... | 1985 | 3834804 |

| sclerotization of mosquito cuticle. | the mode of sclerotization of aedes aegypti pupal and adult cuticle was examined by employing biochemical and radioactive techniques. during larval-pupal metamorphosis, tyrosine is converted to tanning precursors and is incorporated into aryl-amino adducts and beta-crosslinks. the major hydrolysis product of beta-crosslinks in pupal cases is identified to be arterenone. examination of tanning modes in five different mosquito species shows that the ratio of quinone to beta-sclerotization not only ... | 2013 | 3817100 |
| effect of temperature on the vector efficiency of aedes aegypti for dengue 2 virus. | the effect of temperature on the ability of aedes aegypti to transmit dengue (den) 2 virus to rhesus monkeys was assessed as a possible explanation for the seasonal variation in the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in bangkok, thailand. in two laboratory experiments, a bangkok strain of ae. aegypti was allowed to feed upon viremic monkeys infected with den-2 virus. blood-engorged mosquitoes were separated into two groups and retained at constant temperatures. virus infection and transmissio ... | 1987 | 3812879 |
| microfilarial perforation of the midgut of a mosquito. | to determine whether the midgut envelope of mosquitoes is disrupted by the passage of microfilariae, ultrastructural changes induced by microfilariae of brugia malayi were observed in midguts of aedes aegypti mosquitoes. basal and apical plasma membranes were destroyed, disrupting the full depth of the midgut wall. ingested ferritin lay against the gut wall, suggesting absence of the peritrophic membrane during penetration. exsheathment of microfilariae appears to be enhanced by movement against ... | 1986 | 3806321 |
| the effects of plagiorchis noblei metacercariae on the development and survival of aedes aegypti larvae in the laboratory. | plagiorchis noblei infections impair the survival and development of fourth instar aedes aegypti larvae. mortality during the larval and pupal stages reached 92%, and 60% of the emerging adults were malformed. the metacercariae interfere with pupation and the emergence of adults. larvae and pupae that fail to transform to the next developmental stage within the normal time characteristically persist for extended periods, but invariably die without transforming. whereas 82% of the control larvae ... | 1986 | 3806320 |

| what can be learnt about selection from gene frequency distribution? | polymorphism has been studied at the esterase 6 locus in the yellow fever mosquito aedes aegypti (l.) in laboratory stocks. at least 12 alleles are present, with up to four coexisting in a stock. the allele frequency distribution is quite sharply peaked at a mode of about 0.25. the experimental data are compared with the results of simulation based on two models, one in which the initial global distribution is taken to be the stationary distribution obtained from the neutral model assuming m = 4 ... | 0 | 3792826 |
| passage of yellow fever virus: its effect on infection and transmission rates in aedes aegypti. | the effect of successive lytic passage of yellow fever virus on mosquito infection and transmission rates in the vector, aedes aegypti, was determined. three strains of yellow fever virus from trinidad and peru were passaged five times in suckling mouse brains and seven times in bhk-21 cells. mosquitoes were fed meals containing passaged and unpassaged viruses and infection and transmission rates were compared. rates were similar for all but one of the three virus strains grown in both substrate ... | 1986 | 3789277 |
| dispersal and other population parameters of aedes aegypti in an african village and their possible significance in epidemiology of vector-borne diseases. | dispersal of aedes aegypti aegypti adults within shauri moyo, an african village in the rabai area north of mombasa, kenya, was studied using the mark-release-recapture method. a total of 920 mosquitoes were captured and uniquely marked, of which 828 (90%) were released and 332 (40%) recaptured. a great majority of mosquitoes were recaptured once, but some individuals were recaptured up to 10 times. most females visited 1 or 2 houses (40.8%, 44.9%, respectively), but there were females that visi ... | 1986 | 3789275 |
| the effect of repeated blood meals on the larval development of dirofilaria corynodes in the fat body of aedes aegypti. | the objective of the study was to determine whether blood meals taken by a vector subsequent to the infective one have any influence on the course of development of a filarial parasite in its tissue. the filaria dirofilaria corynodes (von linstow, 1899) was selected for study and the black-eye strain of aedes aegypti served as the experimental vector. the microfilaria of d. corynodes develops to the infective stage in the fat bodies of the vector. following an infective blood meal, mosquitoes we ... | 1986 | 3787121 |

| analysis of mosquito larvicidal potential exhibited by vegetative cells of bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. | vegetative bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis cells (6 x 10(5)/ml) achieved 100% mortality of aedes aegypti larvae within 24 h. this larvicidal potential was localized within the cells; the cell-free supernatants did not kill mosquito larvae. however, they did contain a heat-labile hemolysin which was immunologically distinct from the general cytolytic (hemolytic) factor released during solubilization of b. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis crystals. the larvicidal potential of the vegetat ... | 1986 | 3777922 |
| comparative studies on the melanization response of male and female mosquitoes against microfilariae. | the melanization response of adult male and female aedes trivittatus and the black-eyed liverpool strain of aedes aegypti against intrathoracically inoculated dirofilaria immitis microfilariae (mff) was assessed at 1, 3, and 5 days postinoculation (pi). the melanization reaction of males is significantly less effective than the response elicited by female mosquitoes. no mff in male a. aegypti and only 17% of mff recovered from a. trivittatus were fully melanized by day 5 pi compared with 80% and ... | 1986 | 3770266 |
