Ultrastructural changes in the fat body of adult female Aedes aegypti in relationship to vitellogenin synthesis

M Behan et al. Cell Tissue Res. .

Abstract

The ultrastructure of the fat body of Aedes aegypti was followed from emergence through a blood meal. Changes in the volume of protein granules and lipid droplets were also examined. The relationship of these events to the known endocrinology of vitellogenin synthesis in mosquitoes is discussed.
