Abstract：
Secretions of male accessory gland of Boettcherisca peregrina Robinean_Desvoidy contain a variety of bioactive molecules. We injected the gland extracts from mature males to the abdomen of virgin females, and found that it affected virtually many aspects of the female’s reproductive activity. Injections secretion inhibited the remate rate; increased the egg number; shorten the longevity of female adults. Furthermore, the secretions also inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.
