Abstract
Blood ingestion by the female mosquito initiates a series of endocrine
events that is dominated by juvenile hormone, ecdysteroids, and sever
al peptide hormones, resulting in the maturation of a batch of eggs. T
he mechanisms of hormone release and their roles during the previtello
genic, vitellogenic, and postvitellogenic phases are discussed. (C) 19
