[PDF][PDF] Studies on the feeding response of mosquitoes to nutritive solutions in a new membrane feeder
LC Rutledge, RA Ward, DJ Gould - Mosq News, 1964 - biodiversitylibrary.org
Studies of the nutrition, feeding behavior, vector potential and salivary secretion of suctorial
arthropods often require a convenient, standardized technique for feeding defined meals in
the laboratory. The membrane feeding technique is one approach to this problem. The first
feeding of a blood-sucking arthropod (Glossina palpalis) by the membrane technique was
accomplished by Rodhain in 1912 (Tarshis, 1958). Devices for membrane-feeding
mosquitoes are remarkably varied and ingenious. The apparatus may be a simple floating …
