title: Induction of follicle separation in the mosquito by physiological amounts of ecdysterone.
abstract: Physiological quantities of the molting hormone, ecdysterone, injected into female Aedes aegypti prematurely induced separation of incipient follicles in the ovarioles, an event that normally occurs only in blood-fed females. It was possible to stimulate this morphological event with physiological amounts of hormone by mimicking, with two injections, the timing of normal increases in endogenous hormone of blood-fed females.
