Abstract Female Aedes Aegypti, either mated or virgin, can complete 2 gonotrophic cycles
while being denied access to an oviposition site and forced to retain their eggs. The 3rd …

After emergence, the follicles of A. aegypti double in length and the oöcytes may deposit a
small amount of yolk, but within 2 days growth is arrested. Renewed growth and …

1. When female Aedes aegypti were given a daily opportunity to take a blood meal over a 9-
day period, the number of mated females feeding on days 3, 6, and 9 was significantly less …

Laboratory observations were made on blood-fed females of Aëdes aegypti (L.) to determine
the effect of mating on ovarian development and oviposition [cf. RAE, B 46 175, etc.]. Of 128 …

After inseminating about 5 females, the males of Aedes aegypti are sexually depleted and
most do not then re-inseminate additional females for the rest of their lives. Sexually …

Although the Aedes aegypti female will mate repeatedly soon after emergence, no sperm
are transferred during copulation unless the female is 1 to 2 days old. The duration of this …

Secretion accumulated in the accessory glands and sperm in the seminal vesicles in male
Aedes aegypti during the first 2 to 3 days after emergence. These two components of semen …

The circadian flight activity of female Aedes aegypti (L.) changes after insemination and
during the course of the gonotrophic cycle. Virgin females attain a high level of spontaneous …

1. Certain females of A. aegypti are refractory to insemination, either because they are too
young or because of previous insemination. Earlier reports indicated that refractory females …

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were given 1 μl blood enemas, and their subsequent
host-seeking behaviour determined in an olfactometer. Those females failing to develop …
