Abstract
⺠Sperms in testes and spermathecae of the male and female stable flies were visualized using two fluorescent dyes. ⺠Adult stable flies were fed with reserpine-treated cattle blood to deplete biogenic amines. ⺠Reserpine treatment significantly reduced the rate of successful mating by males and oviposition by females. ⺠The amine-depleting effect of reserpine was confirmed by immunohistology of serotoninergic neurons innervating male testes.
