Meiosis and chromosomal effects of thio-TEPA in the ovarian cells of Aedes aegypti.
The development of meiosis during oogenesis in the normal, and 0.1% thio-TEPA (triethylene thiophosphoramide) fed female of Aedes aegypti was studied. Chromosome preparations were made from adults 24 h after a blood meal. The frequency of various kinds of chromosomal abnormalities was analysed.
