Changes in the non-specific esterases of Aedes aegypti (L.) were noted during pupal development. One esterase band was found to increase markedly within 3 h of pupation, and this increase in activity was suppressed by prior treatment of larvae with the insect growth regulator methoprene (ZR 515). It is suggested that the esterase activity may help to reduce endogenous levels of juvenile hormone during metamorphosis and that the growth regulator may prevent this normal regulation.
