Pattern and Composition of Ionic Currents Around Ovarioles of the Hemipteran, Rhodnius prolixus (Stahl)

W. DIEHL-JONES 1 and E. HUEBNER 1

Two-dimensional vibrating probe analysis of extracellular currents around Rhodnius prolixus ovarioles correlated with an earlier one-dimensional analysis but revealed asymmetrical circumferential current patterns and large tangential currents. Na+, K+, and Ca+2 have been tentatively identified as the major ions involved in these currents, with Na+ being the major ion involved in current efflux.
