本文对埃及伊蚊受精囊及其导管的超微结构进行了研究。包围受精囊的表皮壳和受精囊管的表皮衬里，以及与受精囊和受精囊管相关的腺细胞。受精囊腺细胞位于受精囊导管入口附近，分泌物通过短的角质层导管进入受精囊腔。在受精囊管的表面，靠近受精囊处也有孤立的腺细胞，它们通过长的角质层排列的小管将分泌物排入受精囊管的内腔。每个腺细胞的一端充满了大量的微绒毛，长达3.8 [mu]，彼此紧密相连，并聚集在小管上。受精囊的角质层壳具有片状结构。受精囊管的表皮衬里不是层状的，但它仍然具有复杂的结构。具有节枝弹性蛋白外观的材料可以在受精囊管的角质层的电子显微照片中看到，并且节枝弹性蛋白的存在通过角质层的性质来证实，所述性质包括其在紫外线照射下的荧光和应变时的双折射、其弹性以及其被蛋白酶水解的容易性。A.埃及伊蚊具有狭窄的头部区域，紧接着是非常细长的尾部区域。尾区含有由1条中央纤维和9条外纤维组成的轴丝复合体，还含有2个杆状线粒体，内含物致密，呈颗粒状。
A study of the ultrastructure of the spermathecae and their ducts in Aedes aegypti revealed 2 principal cell types epithelial cells which. surround the cuticular shell of the spermatheca and the cuticular lining of the spermathecal duct, and glandular cells which are associated with the spermatheca and with the spermathecal duct. The glandular cells of the spermatheca form a group situated near the entrance of the spermathecal duct, and they discharge their secretion through short cuticle-lined ductules into the lumen of the spermatheca. Isolated glandular cells are also present on the surface of the spermathecal duct, near the spermatheca, and they discharge their secretion through long cuticle-lined ductules into the lumen of the spermathecal duct. One end of each glandular cell is filled with a mass of microvilli, up to 3.8 [mu] long, closely entwined with one another and converging on the ductule. The cuticular shell of the spermatheca has a lamellar structure. The cuticular lining of the spermathecal duct is not lamellar, but it has nevertheless a complex structure. Material with the appearance of resilin can be seen in electron micrographs of the cuticle of the spermathecal duct, and the presence of resilin is confirmed by the properties of the cuticle including its fluorescence under U.V. illumination and birefringence when strained, its elasticity, and the ease with which it is hydrolysed by protease. The spermatozoon of A. aegypti has a narrow head region followed directly by a very elongate tail region. The tail region contains an axial filament complex consisting of 1 central and 9 outer fibrils,, and also contains 2 rod-shaped mitochondria with dense, granular contents.
