Embryonic diapause induction in mosquitoes. 1 Exposure of pupae and/or adult females to short days, long nights and gradual temperature drop, and abiotic factors that promote the preparation of the embryonic diapause. 2 Expression of specific genes transferred from the female to the offspring allows diapause to be triggered and the embryos (pharate larvae) to become refractory to the hatching stimulus
