We used a histologic technique to study multiple blood feeding in a single gonotrophic cycle
by engorged Aedes aegypti (L.) that were collected weekly for 2 yr from houses in a rural …

Diseases that are transmitted by mosquitoes are a tremendous health and socioeconomic
burden with hundreds of millions of people being impacted by mosquito-borne illnesses …

Blood-feeding, which is necessary for most female mosquitoes to reproduce, provides an
opportunity for pathogen transmission. Blood-feeding is influenced by external factors such …

We examined the accumulation of lipids in adult females of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti.
Females emerged with about 100 μg lipid in the fat body. With access to sugar water lipids …

We developed a method to follow the metabolic fate of [14C]-labeled Euglena gracilis
protein amino acids in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes under three different adult nutritional …

We compared the lifespan of Macrocentrus grandii (Goidanich) adults fed a 50% sucrose
solution at various intervals throughout their lives. Treatments included starvation …

Mortality is a critical factor in determining a mosquito's ability to transmit pathogens. We
investigated the effect of human blood feeding and reproduction on mortality of the dengue …

Pre-existing energy reserves may play an important role in regulating the utilization of blood
meal proteins in female anautogenous mosquitoes. Determining the fate of reserves derived …

Reproduction by female mosquitoes is dependent on energy resources but modulated by
hormones. Our study focused on blood-meal-dependent, anautogenous Aedes aegypti and …

When exposed to a human host, Anopheles gambiae started probing 4 h post-eclosion, but
95% successfully blood-fed by 16-20 h with maximal blood volumes of 5-10 µl per female …
