Resumo: The viability of a bacteriophage of Escherichia coli was unaffected by injection into the hemocoel of the mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Anopheles quadrimaculatus, but was reduced by injection into the cockroach, Periplaneta americana. Treatment of the cockroach with India ink, known to be phagocytized in the cockroach hemocoel, did not block the reduction of phage viability. Phage viability was unaffected by incubation with gut homogenates of A. aegypti but was possibly affected by homogenates of P. americana
