Differences in haemagglutination activity in autogenous and anautogenous members of the Culex pipiens mosquito complex

J Vector Ecol. 1997 Dec;22(2):99-102.

Abstract

Hemagglutination activity was studied in whole body extracts of seven laboratory strains of Culex pipiens s.l. (Culex pipiens molestus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus). No significant differences in titer between females were observed, but hemagglutination activity in males differed depending on the feeding regime of the mothers of the males.
