[The possibility of using a mass of Aedes aegypti pupae and imagoes for determining the amount of blood they consume].
A close correlation between the mass of mosquito chrysa1ises, imago and the amount of the consumed blood makes it possible to determine the latter parameter using any other one according to the formulas presented in the article, the accuracy of determination depending on the accuracy of the weighing technique. The method can be used with mosquitos of any age and warm-blooded donors. The use of an indirect method determining the amount of the consumed blood (by the mass of mosquitos or chrysalises) makes it possible to decrease considerably labour expenses on the acquisition of the necessary information, reduce the likelihood of biomaterial spoiling and predict the results in advance.
