Background Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are globally distributed vectors of viruses that impact
the health of hundreds of millions of people annually. Mating and blood feeding represent …

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 …

Background Mating induces behavioral and physiological changes in the arbovirus vector
Aedes aegypti, including stimulation of egg development and oviposition, increased …

The general anatomy and histology of the female reproductive system and its innervation
are described in detail. Contractions of the ampullae, lateral oviducts, and ovaries are …

Aedes sierrensis is typical of most mosquitoes in that larger females lay more eggs per batch
and females blood fed to repletion lay more eggs than those not taking a complete meal …

Across diverse insect taxa, the behavior and physiology of females dramatically changes
after mating—processes largely triggered by the transfer of seminal proteins from their …
