Peripheral cells in the salivary glands of female Aedes aegypti and A. togoi mosquitoes.

Autor(es): Beckett E B


Resumo: A new type of cell, the peripheral cell, is described. These cells are located at the perimeter of the simple tubules which form the distal zones of the lateral lobes of the salivary glands of female Aedes aegypti and A. togoi. They may represent degenerate secretory cells which are segregated so that their altered secretory product cannot be discharged during blood feeding.
