使用卵巢油注射技术对坦桑尼亚东北部阿曼尼山冈比亚按蚊成年雌性卵巢的年龄依赖性变化和年龄结构进行了研究。准确确定该物种成员的年龄所遇到的最大困难是由于卵巢尺寸小和胎次诊断指数低，在连续的生殖周期中下降，甚至在第一个周期中也可能降至零。可以从基体获得更多信息，基体是由卵巢鞘末端包围的花萼壁中的六到八个细胞群。它们有可能用于蚊子的年龄分级。这项研究是在雨季进行的，人口的平均年龄相当低。最年长的是已经完成四次产卵的个体。在感染子孢子的蚊子中，雌性蚊子已完成大于或等于 2 次至大于或等于 4 次产卵。
A study of the age-dependent changes in the ovarioles and the age structure of a population of adult females of Anopheles gambiae in the Amani hills of north-eastern Tanzania was undertaken using the ovarian oil injection technique. The greatest difficulties encountered in accurately determining the age of members of this species are due to small size and the low parity diagnostic index of the ovary, which decreased in successive gonotrophic cycles and could drop to zero even in the first cycles. Additional information can be obtained from basal bodies, groups of six to eight cells in the calyx wall enclosed by the end of the ovariolar sheath. The possibility exists of their use for age grading of mosquitoes. The mean age of the population during the study, which was carried out in the rainy season, was rather low. The oldest were individuals that had completed four ovipositions. Among the mosquitoes infected with sporozoites were females that had completed between greater than or equal to 2 and greater than or equal to 4 ovipositions.
