Reduction in the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to Brugia malayi infection after treatment with ethyl methanesulfonate.

Reduction in susceptibility to Brugia malayi of F2 progeny of Aedes togoi treated with ethyl methanesulfonate.

The susceptibility to Brugia malayi infection was tested in F2 female progeny derived from male and female Aedes togoi treated with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). Three-day-old males and females were treated with 0.025, 0.050, and 0.075, 0.10, 0.15, or 0.20% EMS by allowing them to feed for 5 days on sugar cubes containing EMS and then mated at random. Percentage of susceptibility and mean numbe...

Suppression of Brugia malayi (sub-periodic) larval development in Aedes aegypti (Liverpool strain) fed on blood of animals immunized with microfilariae.

Preliminary studies were carried out to investigate the role of filarial specific antibodies, raised in an animal model against the filarial parasite, Brugia malayi (sub-periodic), in blocking their early development in an experimental mosquito host, Aedes aegypti (Liverpool strain). In order to generate filarial specific antibodies, Mongolian gerbils, Meriones unguiculatus, were immunized eith...

The effect of p-aminobenzoic acid and folic acid on the development of infective larvae of Brugia malayi in Aedes aegypti.

Adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, infected with the subperiodic Brugia malayi, were found to enhance the development of the filarial parasites to the infective stage when they were exposed to a cotton pad soaked in 10% sucrose solution containing p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1% concentrations. Similarly, larval development increased when the mosquitoes were fed wit...

Analysis of mosquito genome structure using graphical genotyping

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers provide effective tools for establishing the genotype at many loci for individual mosquitoes. RFLP genotypes can be organized to provide information concerning parental origin or the allelic configuration of various chromosome segments. Whole genome genotypic information for individuals can be represented in a simple graphic format, termed...
