Laboratory Studies of Anopheles Atroparvus in Relation to Myxomatosis

"laboratory experiments on the irritability of anopheles atroparvus and anopheles stephensi to ddt "

two strains of anopheles atroparvus, one resistant and another sceptible to ddt and two of anopheles stephensi, one resistant and one susceptible to ddt were tested for their irritability to ddt. various laboratory investigations of the effects of insecticides on mosquito behavior and their irritability were carried out. in these series of experiments a comparison was made between the results o...

Reproductive physiology of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles atroparvus.

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 microl per female. When fed sugar, the 95% feeding was not observed until 36-40 h post-eclosion; sugar meals appeared to interfere with blood meals. Similarly in An. atroparvus, maximum volumes were 10 microl when starved but only 6 mic...

ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...

Flight performance of the malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles atroparvus.

The flight potential and metabolism of two malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae s.str. and An. atroparvus, were analyzed on flightmills. The flight distance, the flight time, and individual flight activities of females were recorded during 22 h flight trials. The glycogen and lipid before flight, after flight, and of unflown controls were measured for starved, sugar-, or blood-fed females. Maxima...
