Control of Aedes aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae) populations is vital for reducing the
transmission of several pervasive human diseases. The success of new vector control …

Prey populations that encounter predators experience density-mediated effects through
lethality and associated numerical changes in the population. Prey also exhibit trait …

Background Evaluating and improving mating success and competitive ability of laboratory-
reared transgenic mosquito strains will enhance the effectiveness of proposed disease …

Background Producing high quality sterile males is vital in Aedes aegypti rear-and-release
birth control strategies. Larval diets, rearing temperatures, and their interactions determine …

Biting persistence was measured for Aedes aegypti (L.) mosquitoes given different levels of
larval and adult nutrition. Persistence was measured as the total number of times during a …

Abstract Background With Aedes aegypti mosquitoes now being released in field
programmes aimed at disease suppression, there is interest in identifying factors influencing …

Aedes aegypti is an important disease vector and a major target of reproductive control
efforts. We manipulated the opportunity for sexual selection in populations of Ae. aegypti by …

Few studies have assessed the effects of food scarcity or excess on the life history traits of
Aedes aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae) independently from larval density. We assessed …

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are predominantly daytime-feeding mosquito species
that breed in urban settlements and transmit viral and nematode diseases. Females can …

Abstract Female Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) mosquitoes integrate multiple sensory cues to
locate human hosts for blood meals. Although male Ae. aegypti swarm around and land on …
