Packed red blood cells and bovine serum albumin as a blood meal source for Anopheles farauti.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Packed human red blood cells, diluted 1:1 with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0-21% bovine serum albumin was used as a blood meal source for Anopheles farauti. Egg and larval production linearly increased with bovine serum albumin concentration in PBS. When the saline contained 9-21% bovine serum albumin, egg production was equivalent to that obtained when mosquitoes were fed directly on guinea pigs.

Blood serum and BSA, but neither red blood cells nor hemoglobin can support vitellogenesis and egg production in the dengue vector Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti is the major vector of dengue, yellow fever and chikungunya viruses that put millions of people in endemic countries at risk. Mass rearing of this mosquito is crucial for strategies that use modified insects to reduce vector populations and transmission of pathogens, such as sterile insect technique or population replacement. A major problem for vector mosquito mass rearing is the...
متن کاملEvaluation of the double-quantum filter for the measurement of intracellular sodium concentration.
Evaluation of the double-quantum filter for sodium was performed on several sample series of bovine serum albumin in water. Both single-quantum (1Q) and double-quantum (2Q) measurements were obtained. The quality of the 2Q filter was found to be quite sensitive to pulse width setting. Ordinary 1Q measurements of sodium in albumin-containing solutions show 100% visibility. At high ionic strength...
متن کاملResponse of Anopheles farauti to permethrin-treated net and cloth fabrics in the laboratory.
The median effective dose of permethrin for knockdown and mortality of Anopheles farauti s. s. exposed to 2 net and 2 cloth fabrics was estimated. There were no significant differences in the knockdown or mortality of An. farauti or Aedes aegypti following 15-180-sec exposure to permethrin-treated bed nets and polyester/cotton fabric. Despite the presence of permethrin (0.007-0.068 mg/cm2) in b...
متن کاملIn-Vitro Red Blood Cells Integrity and Morphology Changes after Passing Through Volumetric Peristaltic Infusion Pump
Background: It is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. In the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. Materials and Methods: In this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after p...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of platelet lysate derived from umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood on the expansion and differentiation of MSCs
Abstract Background and Objectives Proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in culture media requires the presence of nutrient supplements such as bovine fetal serum (FBS), which increases the risk of prion/xenotic infections. Platelet lysates as a rich source of growth factors and cytokines can replace FBS in cell culture medium. This study aimed to compare the effe...
