SUMMARY
Mosquitoes in the field additionally consume sugar sources such as nectar that often contains other nutrients including amino_acids and proteins. In contrast, little is known about how the processes that regulate egg formation after blood-feeding are affected by protein or other sources of amino_acids in sugar solutions that females feed upon ad libitum like nectar. The authors examined egg formation in five anautogenous mosquitoes when provided sucrose solutions containing protein, peptides or free amino_acids. To each of these, sucrose 10% w/v was added to produce a protein-, peptide- or amino_acid-sugar solution . . .
