MaleAedes aegyptiproduce a substance made or stored in their accessory glands, which when passed on to females via mating, will prevent subsequent insemination. In addition to becoming refractory with regard to further insemination, mated females also oviposit far more eggs than virgins. The male accessory gland substance, called matrone, has been highly purified and when injected into virgin females, prevents any initial insemination, and will also stimulate oviposition.Matrone can be fractionated into two protein fractions both of which are needed to prevent insemination. However, only one of the fractions will stimulate oviposition; the other has no discernible biological effect when administered by itself.
