imeni M. V. Lomonosov In a previous report [6] we examined the normal oogenesis of blood-/55 sucking mosquitos using the example of 15 species, as well as the methods of its supravital study. This work presents data on abortive oogenesis in these same species, obtained with the application of analogous methodologies. Abortive oogenesis is a process 6f degcneration ot the follicles in individual ovarioles, and occurs parallel with normal oogenesis in other ovarioles of the ovary. At the Lven ovariole cycle, as a result of degeneration, so-called extasias are formed instead of the ovum. Depending on the character and time of feeding of the female, we may distinguish 3 variants of degeneration: Pregonotrophic, agonotrophic,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
