Nutritional requirements of Aedes aegypti L.

摘要: Abstract Larvae of Aedes aegypti can be reared on a chemically defined diet consisting glucose, salt mixture, lipids, RNA, 17 amino acids, glutathione, and 12 vitamins, provided the osmotic pressure does not exceed Δ0·4°C. l -Valine, -leucine, -isoleucine, -phenylalanine, -histidine, -arginine, -tryptophane, -threonine, -methionine, -lysine are absolutely essential for larval growth. -cystine is pupation -proline, -hydroxyproline, -serine required normal growth development. Glycine, -tyrosine, -alanine required. Thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, pantothenic biotin Folic acid pyridoxine definitely pupation; vitamin BT choline chloride also The absence B12 delays p-aminobenzoic ecdysis, i-inositol entirely without effect. Glutathione development, it cannot replaced by its component acids. Glucose, RNA A mixture acids sufficient an adult female to mature viable eggs. this function are: valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenyl-alanine, histidine, arginine, tryptophane, threonine, methionine, lysine. These ten indispensable nutrition.
