| impact of three species of aquatic plants on anopheles quadrimaculatus and its effect on the efficacy of boric acid sugar baits. | the purpose of this study was to investigate the sugar-feeding behavior of anopheles quadrimaculatus by measuring the impact of different aquatic plants on its survival. at the same time, the potential use of boric acid in toxic sugar bait (tsb) applications to the leaves of these plants was also evaluated. mean survival rates of mosquitoes after 120 h feeding on 3 common aquatic plant species-thalia geniculata, pontederia cordata, and limnobium spongia-were 10.55%, 1.86%, and 6.21%, respectivel ... | 2018 | 31442109 |

| diversity in patterns of coital contact of mosquitoes: a scanning electron microscopic study. | specimens, representative of each of the major taxa of mosquitoes, were fixed in copula and the external genitalia examined by scanning electron microscopy. the periphery of the basin-like everted aedeagus of aedus aegypti precisely matches that of the everted atrial membrane of the female. these structures are appressed during coitus and sealed by pressure of the paraprocts, aedeagal pouch and proctiger. when everted, the aedeagus of male culex pipiens reveals a ridged dome that surrounds the g ... | 1974 | 30314402 |
