[Studies on the components of trace elements and macro elements in hemolymph of Anopheles anthropophagus].
The elements in hemolymph of An. anthropophagus were determined by ICAP. There were 18 kinds of trace elements such as Fe,Zn,Cu,Mn,Cr,Mo,Co,Ni,V,Sr,B,Al,Ba,Zr, Cd,Pb,Ga,Li and 6 kinds of macro elements such as Ca,Mg,K,Na,S,P in the hemolymph of the mosquito. The contents of the macro elements and Fe in hemolymph of newly emerged mosquitoes were significantly higher than those of mosquitoes after taking blood meal, whereas Zn and Al were lower. Comparing elements in hemolymph of An. anthropophagus and An. sinensis, there were 14 kinds of elements in newly emerged mosquitoes with striking significant difference, while there were 13 kinds of elements with striking significant difference in the mosquitoes after taking blood meal. Comparing elements in the hemolymph of An. anthropophagus and Ae. albopictus, there were 13 kinds of elements with striking significant difference in the hemolymph of newly emerged mosquitoes and the mosquitoes after taking blood meal. The results suggested that the components of elements in hemolymph were relevant to the nutritional metabolism and development of mosquitoes, and that mosquitoes of different species and with different sensibilities to malaria parasites also showed difference in the contents of elements in their hemolymph.
