| bioassay of solubilized bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis crystals by attachment to latex beads. | solubilized crystals of bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis were 7000 times less toxic to aedes aegypti larvae than intact crystals, presumably because mosquito larvae are filter feeders and selectively concentrate particles while excluding water and soluble molecules. a procedure is described whereby soluble toxins are adsorbed to 0.8-micrometer latex beads, with retention of toxicity. the latex bead assay should make it possible to analyze the structure and mode of action of the mosquito t ... | 1984 | 6701520 |
| a large transmissible plasmid is required for crystal toxin production in bacillus thuringiensis variety israelensis. | bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (bti), serotype 14, which produces parasporal crystals toxic to certain dipteran larvae, was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and found to contain a complex plasmid array. eight plasmids were detected, with approximate sizes of 3.3, 4.2, 4.9, 10.6, 68, 75, 105, and 135 mda, as well as a plasmidlike linear dna element of approximately 10 mda. partially cured mutants of bti implicated the 75-mda plasmid in crystal production. fifteen independently iso ... | 1984 | 6709732 |
| the effect of humidity on the transmission of brugia pahangi infective larvae to mammalian hosts by aedes aegypti. | the transmission of brugia pahangi by aedes aegypti to the mammalian host was compared at low and high humidity. there was no statistical difference between the number of infected mosquitoes feeding or the egress of infective larvae from these mosquitoes at high or low humidity. the penetration of the host by the infective larvae was however significantly greater (p less than 0.05) at high than at a low humidity. | 1984 | 6710572 |
| plasmodium gallinaceum: erythrocyte factor essential for zygote infection of aedes aegypti. | zygotes of plasmodium gallinaceum, fertilized in vitro and fed to aedes aegypti mosquitoes through a membrane, formed oocysts only when a substance in the cytoplasm of uninfected erythrocytes was present. the relation between erythrocyte volume and infectivity was linear (1:1.2) up to a 50% hematocrit. the intraerythrocytic substance was both nondialyzable and poorly soluble in plasma. by carboxymethyl cellulose chromatography, cytoplasmic constituents eluted at ph 8.6 supported the same infecti ... | 1984 | 6714357 |

| the use of mosquitoes (aedes aegypti) to detect ciguatoxin in surgeon fishes (ctenochaetus striatus). | a new animal assay to detect ciguatoxin in fishes was developed. mosquitoes were subjected to intrathoracic injection of serial dilutions of ciguatoxin crude extracts. toxicity of the fishes was expressed as the mosquito ld50 (g of flesh per mosquito). a significant correlation between the mosquito bioassay and the mouse bioassay performed on the same extracts was shown (r = 0.72, n = 80). we were able to detect 96% of the toxic fishes, while 91% of the fishes non-toxic in mice were also non-tox ... | 1984 | 6719474 |
| a mosquito-virulent bacillus sphaericus in adult simulium damnosum from northern nigeria. | from newly emerged adult simulium damnosum from kaduna river, northern nigeria, a mosquito-virulent strain of bacillus sphaericus was isolated. in another four cases non-virulent b. sphaericus were present. the isolate exerted a lc50 of 50 spores/ml for culex pipiens l4-larvae and was less virulent for anopheles stephensi (400 sp/ml) and aedes aegypti (800 sp/ml). | 1984 | 6720123 |
| plasmodium gallinaceum: density dependent limits on infectivity to aedes aegypti. | in acute, blood-induced infections of chickens, the malarial parasite plasmodium gallinaceum is most infective to the mosquito aedes aegypti 1 day before gametocyte numbers peak. in an effort to account for this disynchrony , daily changes in parasite infectivity, parasitemia, hematocrit, and hemoglobin were measured during the course of infections. three events were correlated with the loss of infectivity: (1) in the 24 hr between park infectivity and peak gametocytemia , schizont-induced hemol ... | 1984 | 6723894 |

| an osmoregulatory syncytium and associated cells in a freshwater mosquito. | in embryological terms the anal papillae are the product of eversion of the hindgut tissues. the rectum and the anal papillae have the same origin and have a marked structural similarity. the insect hindgut is very labile being able to produce salt transporting or 'chloride cells' from any of the tissues of which it is composed. the hindgut consists of four distinct regions: the ileum and part of the anal canal have a mechanical function, the rectum and the posterior anal canal contain transport ... | 1983 | 6879594 |
| effect of trypsin and neuraminidase on the infectivity of plasmodium gallinaceum sporozoites. | an investigation was carried out to examine the effect of trypsin and neuraminidase on the infectivity of plasmodium gallinaceum sporozoites. the sporozoites were obtained from freshly dissected salivary glands of aedes aegypti: their infectivity was assayed by their ability to produce a patent parasitaemia following their inoculation into day-old chicks. infectivity was abolished by treatment of the sporozoites with trypsin at a concentration of 100 micrograms ml-1 for 30 minutes at 30 degrees ... | 1983 | 6882061 |
| the regulation of preimaginal populations of aedes aegypti l. (diptera: culicidae) on the kenya coast. i. preimaginal population dynamics and the role of human behaviour. | on the kenya coast aedes aegypti breeds in pots maintained indoors for water storage. pupal numbers vary greatly from one pot to another. the rhythm of water replenishment and the accidental introduction of food into the pots regulate pupal numbers. when water replenishment occurs more often than once per week, pupal numbers are small. when replenishment occurs less often, both low and high pupal numbers may be observed. the presence or absence of larval food distinguishes pots of high versus lo ... | 1983 | 6882066 |
| inheritance of brown-eye and colourless-eye in the mosquito aedes aegypti. | an autosomal recessive gene bw (probably closely linked to y on chromosome 2) gives a brown eye colour. when this gene and the sex-linked gene re (red-eye) are both homozygous, a colourless-eye results. brown-eye shows good viability and penetrance, and it has been maintained as a pure stock. colourless-eye shows 87% penetrance in both sexes, and the females are low in viability and fertility. a colourless-eye stock has been maintained by crossing colourless-eyed males to their heterozygous red- ... | 1983 | 6882068 |
| production of bacillus sphaericus strain 1593 primary powder on media made from locally obtainable nigerian agricultural products. | five media, formulated from dried cow blood, mineral salts, and seeds from four species of legumes, were assessed for growth, sporulation, and insecticidal properties of bacillus sphaericus strain 1593. bacterial powders, prepared from broth, were assayed against culex quinquefasciatus, anopheles gambiae, and aedes aegypti. good growth and sporulation were obtained with all the media. the highest number of viable cells and spores per mililitre (8.6 x 10(8) and 8.1 x 10(8] were obtained in media ... | 1983 | 6883226 |

| host behaviour and mosquito feeding success: an experimental study. | the susceptibility of laboratory rabbits to attack by mosquitoes (aedes aegypti) is found to be closely linked to their grooming activity. prevention of grooming significantly increases both the percentage of mosquitoes feeding and the size of blood meals. grooming responses intensify with parasite density, and lead to a slight decline in parasite feeding success and blood meal size. grooming efficiency varied between individual rabbits and also a consequence of experience, with rabbits improvin ... | 1982 | 7080144 |
| utilization and metabolism of dietary sterols in the honey bee and the yellow fever mosquito. | the honey bee, apis mellifera, does not convert c28 and c29 phytosterols to cholesterol as found in most previous studies of phytophagous or omnivorous insects, but instead the workers and queens selectively transfer 24-methylenecholesterol, sitosterol and isofucosterol from their endogenous sterol pools to the brood larvae regardless of the sterol in the worker diet. administering radiolabeled sterols by feeding and injection has made it possible to trace this selective transfer through a secon ... | 1982 | 7087696 |

| [dipetalonema dessetae in proechimys oris. ii. evaluation of the model for pharmacologic investigations of antifilarial chemotherapy (author's transl)]. | dipetalonema dessetae in proechimys oris is a new model of rodent feafilariasis with several interesting features with respect to its utilisation in antifilarial pharmacology. 1. in the first part of these studies, it has been shown that the final host of the filaria, a rodent, was easy to breed. a prolific mosquito aedes aegypti was an effective vector, and with the selected mode of infection i.e. 200 infesting larvae subcutaneously injected, 80% of the rodents were infected. 2. from 90 to 150 ... | 1982 | 7200173 |
| [intake of microfilariae by the vector in the case of a low microfilareamia (author's transl)]. | the study of the intake of microfilariae of dipetalonema dessetae by aedes aegypti leads to two conclusions with respect to the microfilaraemia: --there is no concentration of microfilariae in the uptake of blood by aedes. --the microfilariae are nearly homogeneously distributed in the vertebrate host blood available to the vector for feeding. such a distribution of microfilariae in the cutaneous blood supply of the host gives the maximum chance for a mosquito to become infected when taking a bl ... | 1982 | 7200752 |

| isolation and characterization of mosquito cell membrane glycoproteins. | plasma membranes have been purified from an established cell line, mos 20a of aedes aegypti, and analysed for glycoprotein and polypeptide constituents by isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. a major glycoprotein of molecular weight 110 000 carrying binding sites for concanavalin a and soybean agglutinin has been purified to homogeneity. although located on the cell surface, the 110 kdalton glycoprotein is not labelled by lactoperoxidase-catalysed ... | 1981 | 7213698 |
| steps in the biosynthesis of mosquito cell membrane glycoproteins and the effects of tunicamycin. | a cultured cell line of the mosquito, aedes aegypti, is sensitive to tunicamycin as expected from the ability of crude membrane preparations to catalyse the formation of n-acetylglucosamine-linked dolichyl pyrophosphate. formation of dolichylphosphomannose was also detected and this reaction was totally insensitive to tunicamycin. incorporation of radioactive mannose into total acid-precipitable glycoproteins was inhibited greater than 90% in whole cells by tunicamycin, while the incorporation o ... | 1981 | 7213699 |

| disruption of insect photoreceptor membrane by divalent ions: dissimilar sensitivity of light- and dark-adapted mosquito rhabdomeres. | the conditions that lead to the formation of myelin figures in rhabdomere microvilli were studied in the larval ocelli of the mosquito aedes aegypti. these artifacts can result from the addition of divalent ions, such as ca2+, to primary-aldehyde fixatives, but they form subsequently during postfixation with oso4. in light-adapted ocelli, myelin figures are concentrated at the proximal ends of the microvilli along the cytoplasmic margin of the rhabdomere. the severity of the artifact is proporti ... | 1981 | 7226214 |
| acetylcholinesterase activity in an aedes aegypti cell line. | considerable acetylcholinesterase (ache) activity was detected in an aedes aegypti established cell line. the enzyme is blocked by 10(-6) m eserine sulfate, displays excess substrate inhibition and slowly hydrolyzes butyrylthiocholine. a 2-fold stimulation of ache activity was shown after 2 days exposure to 3 x 10(-7) m beta-ecdysone. ache activity found in the fresh medium is the contribution of the fetal calf serum portion. a direct relationship between levels of serum and the ache activity in ... | 1981 | 7238835 |

| genetic response of aedes aegypti to different environmental temperatures. | three groups of aedes aegypti maintained 8 generations in the laboratory at 20 degrees c, 27 +/- 1 degree c (normal control), and at 35 degrees c, respectively were analyzed for allozyme variability. of the 8 larval loci examined est alpha-1 and lap-2 in generation 8 were still variable, while the other allozymes became uniform. the 35 degrees c population had mean level of heterozygosity of about 6% of individual per locus, less than those observed in the 20 degrees c and the control population ... | 1981 | 7256357 |
| factors affecting syncytial development in aedes pseudoscutellaris cells by dengue viruses. | several factors that were suspected of affecting the development of syncytia in cultured aedes pseudoscutellaris cells inoculated with dengue viruses were studied. the results indicated that fresh media (less than 1 week old), low cell density at inoculation (2.8 x 10(5) cells/cm2), and low cell passage level (less than 52 passages) favored the development of syncytia. all three types (1, 2, and 3) of dengue viruses tested could be isolated from human sera by aedes pseudoscutellaris cell culture ... | 1981 | 7258498 |
