Mating affects egg maturation in Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae).
The effect of mating on egg development and the size of the female accessory glands during the gonotrophic cycle of Anopheles gambiae was investigated. Although females that received a measured meal of blood were more likely to produce an egg batch when they were mated, the increased reproduction was not the result of male accessory gland substances. Changes in the size of the female accessory ...
متن کاملA Preliminary Report on a Morphological Character Distinguishing Important Malaria Vectors in the Anopheles gambiae Giles Complex in Southern Africa.
The efficient malaria vectors Anophezes gumbiae Giles and Anophezes mabiensis Patton are separated from the less efficient vectors Anophezes merus Diinitz and Anophezes qua&iannuZatus Theobald by means of the banding patterns on the hind legs of the adults. The specimens used are either wild adults, adults bred out from wild-caught larvae, or the progeny of wild females. All specimens are elect...
متن کاملAge of Anopheles gambiae Giles male mosquitoes at time of mating influences female oviposition.
Female Anopheles gambiae were more likely to oviposit when they mated with males that were two days old than when they mated with older males. The females' age at the time of mating and blood feeding did not influence ovipositional patterns. Females were no less likely to oviposit when they mated after blood feeding and maturing eggs. Sperm were present in the seminal vesicles of males 28 hours...
متن کاملDeforestation and Vectorial Capacity of Anopheles gambiae Giles Mosquitoes in Malaria Transmission, Kenya
We investigated the effects of deforestation on microclimates and sporogonic development of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in an area of the western Kenyan highland prone to malaria epidemics. An. gambiae mosquitoes were fed with P. falciparum-infected blood through membrane feeders. Fed mosquitoes were placed in houses in forested and deforested areas in a high...
متن کاملOlfactory responses of host-seeking Anopheles gambiae s.s. Giles (Diptera: Culicidae).
Anopheles gambiae s.s. Giles, a highly anthropophilic mosquito species, is Africa's most important malaria vector (White, 1974). It has been shown that this species is attracted to 4.5% carbon dioxide (Knols et al., 1994a), a dose thought to be equivalent to what is emitted by humans during breathing. Also, evidence exists for an activating and attracting effect of carbon dioxide in the field (...
