MATERIALS AND METHODSThroughout January to December 1972, adults of the A. gambiae complex were collected by pyrethrum spray sheet collections in huts in several villages in the evaluation area, and in the villages of Tiengre and Kanyamedha 3-9 km east of the barrier zone and in Ramba and Saradidi about 6 km west of the barrier zone, in an unsprayed comparison zone. During April to December there were also collections of adults from outdoor pit-shelters dug in several villages. The ovaries of blood-fed females, in which development was in late Stage Ill to early Stage IV, were removed from nearly all A. gambiae collected from the pitshelters and from many adults collected from huts. These ovaries were stored in normal, or modified, Carnoy's fixative (French et al., 1962) in a domestic refrigerator before they were despatched at the end of each month air mail to England. They were examined within three to four weeks of receipt and identified as coming from species A or B by the banding on the short XR polytene chromosomes of the ovarian nurse cells (Coluzzi, 1968). Initially many ovaries were stored in fixative in corked tubes in which a chemical reaction turned the ovaries black, so chromosomes could not be seen. By using plastic stoppers this was avoided. Another setback was that the original stock of fixative caused the ovaries to harden, making chromosomes difficult to release from the nurse cells and even more difficult to spread. This was partly overcome by transferring the ovaries to 50% proprionic acid for about 15 minutes, which caused them to swell and become gelatinous (Green, 1970). It was then necessary to stain in 2% lacto-aceto-orcein for about 10 minutes, but few of the preparations were as good as those obtained subsequently with material freshly fixed in a new batch of modified Carnoy's solution. Blood from the stomachs of nearly all the gorged females caught in the pit-shelters, and from 10-16% of those caught in huts, was smeared onto filter paper for identification of blood-meals by the precipitin test. Salivary gland dissections were made on most females caught in artificial pit-shelters, and on many caught indoors by pyrethrum spray collection and human bait catches performed inside huts from 19.00-07.00.
