[The experimental pathogenic effect of Spiroplasma isolated from mosquitoes on the hatching of Aedes aegypti ova and the growth of larva hatched from these eggs].
The authors did study the experimental effects on Aedes aegypti ova of different Spiroplasma strains, isolated from mosquitoes in French Savoy and in Taiwan. The SP7 strain, from Armigeres subalbatus (Taiwan), demonstrates a true pathogenic effect on the larval evolution, without sex ratio modifications, nor bacterial transmission to the adult mosquitoes. The authors present their results and emphasize the difficult use of Spiroplasmas sp.
