| Abstract | ||
| The determination of salivary gland total protein content and electrophoretic pattern of the different 2nd 3rd larval instars and prepupae of C. titillator and S. aegyptiaca were studied. Protein content in salivary gland of C. titillator decreased sharply from 2nd instar larvae to 3rd one and increased in the prepupae. While in S. aegyptiaca protein content in salivary gland in- creased in 3rd instar than in 2nd instar and prepu- pae. The total number of protein bands detected in the salivary glands of the different larval in- stars in both S. aegyptiaca and C. titillator were 3. 10. 9, 15, 12 and 13 in 2nd, 3rd larval instars and prepupae respectively. | ||
