| meiotic chromosome pairing and synaptonemal complex transformation in culex pipiens oocytes. | the synaptonemal complexes of the oocytes of the mosquito culex pipiens quinquefasciatus have been reconstructed from serial sections. a diffuse structure, probably a chromocenter composed of centromeric heterochromatin, was present during pachytene. as no synaptonemal complexes were visible inside the chromocenter the continuity of the 2 arms of a bivalent was lost. the telomeric ends were clustered on a small area of the nuclear membrane in a bouquet arrangement; they were associated in pairs, ... | 1978 | 743906 |

| [culex pipiens fatigans: labeling of tissues of normal and infected (plasmodium cathemerium) females after feeding on tritiated amino acids (author's transl)]. | normal and infected culex females were fed 11 different amino acids. these substances were labeled with tritium and each was given separately in glucose solution. after the uptake the marker appears first in crop, cardia and midgut. later on the other tissues get labeled more or less. it seems that the labeling follows a characteristic pattern for each amino acid. essential amino acids are taken up intensively; for example leucine not only in the midgut epithelium but also in the ovary and the f ... | 1977 | 848081 |
| [host range of drosophila melanogaster c virus among diptera and lepidoptera (author's transl)]. | the host range of the c picornavirus of drosophila melanogaster was studied, using numerous strains of drosophila together with four other genera of diptera and two species of lepidoptera. c virus was injected into the different hosts and serially passaged in them. the extracts from each passage were biologically assayed on virus free d. melanogaster. four different situations were found. 1) a high level of multiplication leading, in 45 strains of drosophilidae, to the early death of the hosts. ... | 1976 | 823856 |

| [a new report of naturally anautogenous and stenogamic populations of culex pipiens pipiens l. in the south of france (author's transl)]. | the presence of an anautogenous and stenogamic population of culex pipiens pipiens in languedoc, france, is reported. the anautogeny was confirmed through 10 generations. a callot morphogram corresponded to the anautogenous form. these results raise again the question of the type of relationships, genetic or ecological, of the characters classically associated with autogeny. | 1977 | 907293 |

| susceptibility to brugia pahangi of geographical strains of culex pipiens fatigans. | five strains of culex pipiens fatigans from kuala lumpur, tanga, bobo dioulasso, ibadan and maracay were tested for susceptibility to brugia pahangi. the mosquitoes were membrane-fed on infected blood in which the parasite density ranged from 1-3 to 20-4 mff/mm(3). the susceptibility rates were low, and were not directly related to the parasitaemia. if the susceptible individuals represent homozygotes for the gene sb (the gene controlling susceptibility to b pahangi in c. pipiens), the gene freq ... | 1977 | 921367 |

| identification of culex species by electrophoresis. | this paper extends the usefulness of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to studies of mosquito taxonomy and mosquito vector ecology. using a newly developed double staining technique, it is possible to unambiguously separate several species of culex mosquitoes found in northern indiana. these include culex restuans, culex pipiens pipiens, and culex territans. preliminary work indicates that culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and culex salinarius can also be identified by this method. this technique ... | 1977 | 907038 |

| follicle cell bridges in the mosquito ovary: syncytia formation and bridge morphology. | in the mosquito, culex pipiens quinqefasciatus, the follicle cells enveloping the oocyte and the nurse cells are connected by intercellular bridges. the bridges are formed by incomplete cytokinesis, and they persist for more than 30 h after their formation. reconstructions from serial sections showed that one syncytial group contained at least 32 cells; several cells continued outside the series. the cells in a syncytium divide asynchronously; this results in an irregular, branched orgainzation. ... | 1978 | 670316 |
