Renewable fecundity of male Aedes aegypti following replenishment of seminal vesicles and accessory glands

摘要: Abstract Secretion accumulated in the accessory glands and sperm seminal vesicles male Aedes aegypti during first 2 to 3 days after emergence. These two components of semen became depleted when 3-day-old males copulated rapid succession with a series 8 females free flight, each was able inseminate an averge only 5·8 females. However, as early 1 day loss fecundity, some were again fully females, which allowed 7 periods sexual inactivity between mating still fecund by fourth successive series. Cycles depletion replenishment secretion vesicle correspond these inactivity. Beyond matings sometimes less sexually responsive copulate inseminate. But series, surviving that remained had inseminated average 17·6 per male; maximum 21 male.
