the ultrastructural basis of abnormal development of brugia pahangi in refractory aedes aegypti.	cuticular abnormalities in larval brugia pahangi at c. 12 hours post blood meal are the first signs of abnormal worm development in refractory aedes aegypti. normally developing b. pahangi undertakes large scale cuticular reorganization during the first larval stage, screting new cuticle to nearly six times the original volume. the inability of the first stage larva to carry out this cuticular reorganization in refractory a. aegypti is the basis of developmental abnormality. it is concluded that ...	1978	666399

rates of infection in, and transmission of, african horse-sickness virus by aedes aegypti mosquitoes.	very low infection rates (less than 3%) were obtained when aedes aegypti mosquitoes ingested blood contained 5.8--6.5 log10 mld50/0.02 ml african horse sickness virus (ahsv). when a. aegypti mosquitoes were inoculated intrathoracically with virus, however, high infection rates were achieved. mosquitoes infected by inoculum failed to transmit virus to embryonated hens eggs by bite, and virus could not be detected in membrane or blood when inoculated mosquitoes were allowed to engorge on uninfecte ...	1978	29475
the lethal effects of the cibarial and pharyngeal armatures of mosquitoes on microfilariae.	microfilariae of wuchereria bancrofti and brugia pahangi were killed by the chewing action of the cibarial and pharyngeal armatures and other papillae and spines in the fore-gut of mosquitoes. the proportion of ingested microfilariae that were killed was largely dependent on the presence and shape of the cibarial armature. anopheles farauti no. 1 and anopheles gambiae species a and b have well developed cibarial armatures and killed 36 to 96% of the ingested microfilariae. culex pipiens fatigans ...	1978	30190
distribution and density of mosquitoes in two endemic areas for bancroftian filariasis in sorsogon, philippines.	mosquito density in rangas where abaca is in abundance is much higher, almost twice, than that of putiao where abaca is absent. the adult density of aedes poecilus over aedes ananae in the two areas combined is 3 to 4 times whereas the larval density of the former is much lower than aedes ananae. the banana axils is a favorite breeding place for aedes poecilus but may also utilize the abaca axils. this finding is very favorable in the transmission of bancroftian filariasis because this species o ...	1978	34889

de novo synthesis of methionine in normal and brugia-infected aedes aegypti.	crude extracts of normal, adult aedes aegypti were able to form methionine from homocysteine in the presence of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (mefh4) but not betaine. the requirements for the reaction, including a need for vitamin b12, s-adenosylmethionine (sam), and a reducing system, indicated that it was catalyzed by mefh4:homocysteine transmethylase (methionine synthetase). the general properties of a. aegypti methionine synthetase were found to be similar to those of the analogous enzyme from ba ...	1979	512751

variation in susceptibility to oral infection with dengue viruses among geographic strains of aedes aegypti.	the comparative susceptibility of 13 geographic strains of aedes aegypti to oral infection with dengue viruses was studied by feeding the mosquitoes on a virus-erythrocyte-sugar suspension. significant variation in susceptibility to four dengue serotypes was observed among the geographic strains tested. mosquito strains which were more susceptible to one serotype were also more susceptible to the other serotypes, suggesting that the factors controlling susceptibility were the same for all types. ...	1979	507282

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.	1979	39443
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 ...	1979	30189706

topical mosquito repellents xii: n-substituted ureas and cyclic ureas.	various n-substituted urea and cyclic urea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as repellents for aedes aegypti mosquitoes with an in vitro blood-feeding test system. several compounds were superior to diethyltoluamide.	1979	34027

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 ...	1979	24306774
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 ...	1979	41256
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 ...	1979	487393
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 ...	1979	467461
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 ...	1979	466708
