Neuroparsin is a common insect neurohormone produced in large neuroendocrine cells the brain and important mosquito reproduction. Although it present many flies including Drosophila species, was lost from D. melanogaster few closely related species. Three different lines of transgenic virilis were produced: One that expresses yeast transcription factor gal4 under control neuroparsin promoter (NP-gal4), while others codes for proteins promoter, either enhanced green fluorescent protein (UAS-eGFP) or ortholog reaper, an apoptosis inducing (UAS-rpr). Crosses between UAS-eGFP NP-gal4 revealed expression correct. UAS-rpr completely eliminated cells, but without effect on
