Female mosquitoes were kept in cages and separated into 4 groups: those which had no
contact with males; those which had contact before feeding; those which had contact after …

Adult Aedes aegypti can mate within 24 hours after emergence, even though such early
mating has been considered unlikely by different workers, principally because of the position …

In Aedes aegypti, providing a blood-meal is taken and fertilization takes place in the first two
weeks of life, egg-laying is normally cyclic (Penia de Grimaldo & Lavoipierre, 1960) …

The mating behaviour of free-flying Aedes aegypti (L.) in small cages was examined and
divided into 6 discrete stages, which are described. Although females were never …

1. The effectiveness of mating of female Aedes aegypti that had previously been mated was
compared to that of virgin females. Non-virgin females mated less readily than virgin females …

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 …

Female Aedes aegypti mated somewhat less readily at 1 day than at several days after
ecdysis and retained genital contact more briefly. Semen was generally present in the …

METHODS AND RESULTS Eggs were immersed in water to which powdered yeast had
been added as a hatching stimulus. The hatch which occurred during the first 24-hour (or, in …

Little is known of the processes in insects by which mating affects the oviposition rate,
though the effect of mating on the oviposition rate has been noted by various workers with a …

The following is virtually the author's summary. In laboratory rearing of Aedes aegypti (L.),
eggs containing male larvae hatched somewhat earlier than those containing females. This …
