The Effect of Salts on the Anal Gills of the Mosquito Larva
نویسندگان
چکیده
WHILE studying the function of the anal gills of the mosquito larva (Wigglesworth, 1932) I had occasion to observe the effects of certain electrolytes upon them, and these effects seemed sufficiently unusual to deserve separate study. Their curious character is due, no doubt, to the unusual structure of the cells in question, but it is possible that some of these observations may throw light upon the behaviour of other types of cell in the animal body. In any case it will be desirable to record them before discussing the function of the so-called anal gills themselves.

Novel Histopathological and Molecular Effects of Natural Compound Pellitorine on Larval Midgut Epithelium and Anal Gills of Aedes aegypti
The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, is a vector for transmitting dengue fever and yellow fever. In this study, we assessed the histopathological and molecular effects of pellitorine, an isobutylamide alkaloid, on the third instar of Ae. aegypti larvae. At 5 mg/l concentration of pellitorine, the whole body of the treated larvae became dark in color, particularly damaged thorax and abdomin...

Mosquito larvae have been extensively used as models for the investigation of osmotic and ionic regulation in insects. They are phylogenetically well understood, and have colonized a wide variety of different environments, so that comparative studies have been possible on related species from widely differing habitats. Larval mosquitoes are easily obtained and reared in large numbers, are of co...
متن کاملThe Effect of Some Anions and Cations upon the Fluxes and Net Uptake of Sodium in the Larva of Auedes Aegypti (l).
It is now well established that the anal papillae of culicine larvae secrete salts from the dilute external medium into the body (Koch, 1938; Ramsay, 1953; Stobbart, i960). In the case of the larvae of Aides aegypti the exchange and net transport of sodium through the papillae have been studied in some detail (Treherne, 1954; Stobbart, 1959, i960) and it appears that the sodium pump in the papi...

The study and research of abundance and diversity variation of fish larva (Ichthyoplankton stages) was done in Gowatr Bay during autumn 2006 - summer 2007. Five stations were selected for sampling, and Bongo-Net with 300µ mesh size was towing from bottom to surface. During of survey, totally 531 larvae belong to 11 families were collected and identified. The mean abundance estimated 12.17 larva...
