The anal papillae of freshwater mosquito larvae are important sites of NaCl uptake, thereby acting to offset the dilution of the hemolymph by the dilute habitat. The ion-transport mechanisms in the anal papillae are not well understood. In this study, the scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET) was utilized to measure ion fluxes at the anal papillae, and pharmacological inhibitors of ion transport were utilized to identify ion-transport mechanisms. Na+ uptake by the anal papillae was inhibited by bafilomycin and phenamil but not by HMA. Cl-uptake was inhibited by methazolamide, SITS and DIDS but not by bafilomycin. H+ secretion was inhibited by bafilomycin and methazolamide. Ouabain and bumetanide had no effect on NaCl uptake or H+ secretion. Together, the results suggest that Na+ uptake at the apical membrane occurs through a Na+ channel that is driven by a V-type H+-ATPase and that Cl-uptake occurs through a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger, with carbonic anhydrase providing H+ and HCO3- to the V-type H+-ATPase and exchanger, respectively.
