Abstract
⺠A biologically active peptide (Aea-HP-1) has been chemically identified from Aedes aegypti male accessory glands. ⺠Aea-HP-1 is transferred to the female on copulating. ⺠Aea-HP-1 is protected from peptide-degrading enzymes of the accessory gland. ⺠Aea-HP-1 is not a mosquito 'sex peptide', but probably alters host-seeking behavior of the post-mated female.
