Abstract
Between 50 and 75% of male and female Aedes aegypti collected at a rur al tire dump near Vero Beach, FL, in March 1992, and males collected i nside inhabited houses in San Juan, PR, in October 1991 and January 19 92, were fructose positive. In contrast, only 5 of 231 females in the San Juan collections contained fructose. Gravid females in January 199 2 contained 3 times more lipid than those in October 1991.
