differential distribution of peridomestic aedes mosquitoes on grand bahama island.aedes aegypti, on grand bahama island, is restricted to certain western towns, whereas a. bahamensis is more generally distributed. during 14 years of observation, the range of a. aegypti has extended 8 km and now includes the major tourist centre. relocation of discarded automobile tires is an important mechanism for such spread. we suggest that the presence of a. bahamensis restrains colonization by a. aegypti, and thereby helps to protect human populations from a. aegypti-borne disease.1979555063
electron microscope study of mosquito densonucleosis virus maturation.maturation of mosquito densonucleosis virus (mdv) was studied in its natural host, aedes aegypti l. larvae. first ultrastructural changes were observed in the cytoplasm of virus-infected cells. they consisted in the formation of paracrystalline structures containing particles 18--20 nm in diameter as well as microtubules 20 nm in diameter. virogenic stromas and paracrystalline virion arrays were found in the nuclei of virus-infected cells.197939443
changes in the fat body and oocysts during starvation and vitellogenesis in a mosquito, aedes aegypti (l.).when aedes aegypti females first emerge as adults, their oocytes possess no yolk. the abdominal fat body cells contain large quantities of lipid, protein, and glycogen, and possess many free ribosomes, but have very little rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer). when the females are starved for four days, their oocytes form fine lipid and protein yolk endogenously, the latter being located mainly around the nucleus. the adipocytes in these fasted mosquitoes have greatly reduced amounts of lipid, prot ...197930189706

some consequences of selection for fast and slow recovery from the larval alarm reaction in aedes aegypti.replicated divergent selection based upon the time taken to recover from the larval alarm reaction in the mosquito aedes aegypti resulted in lines which recovered faster and slower than the control lines. estimates of the realized heritability were consistent, ranging from 0.21 to 0.24 in the fast replicates and 0.19 to 0.20 in the slow replicates. after 11 generations of selection an apparent change in the fitness was examined using an application of the path analysis. the relevance of the find ...197924306774
the influence of the brain hormone on retention of blood in the mid-gut of the mosquito aedes aegypti (l.). iii. the involvement of the ovaries and ecdysone.most female mosquitoes require a blood-meal in order to produce mature oöcytes. an egg development neurosecretory hormone (ednh), which is produced in the medial neurosecretory cells (m.n.c.) of the brain and stored in the corpus cardiacum, is released into the haemolymph following the ingestion of blood and is essential for the promotion of ovarian development to maturity. it has been shown that a factor from the m.n.c., presumably ednh, is necessary if the blood-meal is to be retained in the m ...197941256
functional morphology of the midgut of aedes aegypti l. (insecta, diptera) during blood digestion.morphometric analysis of the epithelial lining of the stomach of a. aegypti suggests that digestion of the first blood meal in the stomach of this species can be viewed as a series of phases that can be correlated with physiological data from the literature. in phase ia (0-10 h after blood meal [abm]) the whorls of the rough endoplasmic reticulum unfold, the golgi zones increase, and the basal labyrinth is enlarged. this coincides with processes of synthesis and secretion (e.g., peritrophic memb ...1979487393
normal versus alpha-amanitin induced cellular dynamics of the midgut epithelium in female aedes aegypti l. (insecta, diptera) in response to blood feeding.in midgut epithelial cells (stomach) of untreated female a. aegypti an increase in the surface area of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer) and in the ratio of membrane-bound to free ribosomes is morphometrically measured during digestion of the first blood meal. this can be correlated with the synthesis and release of digestive proteases. the dynamics of the ribosomes in a. aegypti are similar to those in a. stephensi. 3 ng alpha-amanitin per mosquito prevent normal blood digestion, the prolif ...1979467461
characterization of presumptive histone messenger rna from a cell line of aedes aegypti.four presumptive histone messenger rnas were characterized from a cell line of aedes aegypti, and their molecular weights were determined by electrophoresis. they were shown to be associated with polysomes during the peak of dna synthesis, but not when dna synthesis was inhibited by cytosine arabinoside or when dna was not being synthesized. these mrnas are associated with polysomes containing less than 8 ribosomes and having a high ratio of incorporation of lysine to tryptophan into their nasce ...1979466708

aedes aegypti strain fitness for yellow fever virus transmission.three geographical strains of aedes aegypti from thailand (amphur), east africa (kampala), and the west indies (santo domingo) were compared for susceptibility to infection with low-passage yellow fever virus (french viscerotropic) as well as for ability to transmit virus by bite at varying extrinsic incubation periods. santo domingo strain appeared the most competent and kampala the least when mosquitoes were exposed to a low level virus-infecting blood meal; at higher virus levels, a similar t ...1977907058
the fate of ingested brugia pahangi microfilariae in susceptible and refractory strains of culex pipiens and aedes aegypti.the uptake and migration of microfilariae of brugia pahangi in susceptible and refractory culex pipiens and aedes aegypti were compared after membrane-feeding the mosquitoes on infected blood and anti-coagulant. there was no difference between the strains within each species in the pattern of migration, but in c pipiens only 24% of the microfilariae reached the thorax whereas in a. aegypti 73-6% were successful. in both susceptible strains the filariae in the thorax developed normally to maturit ...1977921369

flight muscle ultrastructure of susceptible and refractory mosquitoes parasitized by larval brugia pahangi.on parasitization with larval brugia pahangi the infected flight muscle fibres of "resistant" anopheles labranchiae atroparvus undergo the following ultrastructural changes. the fibres become almost totally devoid of glycogen, their sarcoplasmic reticulum becomes elongate and closely associated with muscle fibrils. these fibrils degenerate and vesicles appear both within the degenerate fibril and within elements of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. vesicles accumulate around the worm and degenerate to ...197714324
influences of blood digestion on the development of plasmodium gallinaceum (brumpt) in the midgut of aedes aegypti (l.).blood digestion of aedes aegypti and development of plasmodium gallinaceum were shifted against each other by giving the mosquitoes two consecutive blood meals. in this way the parasites were exposed to an environment where blood digestion was more advanced than in single blood meals. this procedure had an inhibiting effect on oocyst production when the two blood meals overlapped; an enhancing effect when they were well separated. the results are explained by the action of trypsin-like proteases ...197719955

experimental brugia timori and wuchereria bancrofti infections in certain species of mosquitoes.laboratory reared aedes aegypti (black eye and jakarta strains), aedes togoi, (taiwan), aedes albopictus, (jakarta), wild caught anopheles barbirostris, (java) and mansonia uniformis, (jakarta) were fed on a carrier with mixed infection of brugia timori and wuchereria bancrofti. b. timori and w. bancrofti were able to develop in a. aegypti (black eye) and a. togoi, with development proceeding more rapidly for of b. timori than w. bancrofti. both species of parasites were readily distinguishable ...197724275

laboratory studies on the transmission of yellow fever virus by aedes (finlaya) notoscriptus (dipt., culicidae).aedes (finlaya) notoscriptus (skuse), a mosquito which occupies a similar ecological niche to aedes (stegomyia) aegypti (l), the urban vector of yellow fever virus, was screened as a possible vector of this disease. the results indicate that almost certainly ae. notoscriptus is refractory to the virus and could not act as a vector if yellow fever were introduced to australia.197796783
a field trial of suppression of aedes aegypti population by releasing sterile males into a domestic population.after release of an average of 1260 sterile male each day for a period of sixty two days, the average fertility of aedas aegypti population remained above 50% in ererwani village. it is concluded that the irradiated sterile males may not be suitable as a control measure, despite the fact that irradiation was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere.1977754134
comparative activity and properties of lactate dehydrogenase, xanthine dehydrogenase, and dihydrofolate reductase in normal and brugia pagangi-infected aedes aegypti.the amount of xanthine dehydrogenase (xdh), dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr), and lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) in crude extracts of 4- to 5-day-old adult aedes aegypti was determined, and the properties of these enzymes were partially characterized. it was then found that the amount and other selected characteristics of xdh and ldh in extracts of female ae. aegypti processed 5 to 7 days and 12 to 14 days after they had fed upon either normal or brugia pahangi-infected jirds were indistinguishable f ...1977559068
