Abstract
After inseminating about 5 females, the males of Aedes aegypti are sexually depleted and most do not then re-inseminate additional females for the rest of their lives. Sexually depleted males generally replenish spermatozoa in their seminal vesicles and renew the secretion in their accessory glands, i.e. they again become fecund. Many replenished males do not chase or attempt to copulate with virgin females. Those males which do copulate do not ejaculate. Thus, celibate behaviour and failure to ejaculate rather than lack of fecundity are responsible for the inability of sexually depleted males to impregnate females.
