Some mosquito strains or species are able to lay eggs without taking a blood meal, a trait
named autogeny. This may allow populations to persist through times or places where …

Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) are a potential vector control tool that exploits the
sugar-feeding behaviour of mosquitoes. We evaluated the sugar-feeding behaviour of …

Abstract Background Historically, Aedes aegypti (L.) mosquitoes were controlled/eradicated
by fumigation, residual spraying and the elimination of breeding sites. However, the …

The effects of dietary sugar and body size on the oviposition of Ae. aegypti were studied
under laboratory conditions. In female mosquitoes provided with sugar, the start of maximum …

A study was conducted in Egypt on the role of sugar and blood in oogenesis of Anopheles
pharoensis. Also studied was the significance of mating vs. nonmating on oocyte maturity …

Blood meals were tested by a direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for 424
Anopheles sergentii and for 63 An. multicolor collected in Siwa, Farafra and Bahariya oases …

Background Dengue is an arbovirus disease transmitted by two Aedes mosquitoes: Ae.
aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Virgin females of these two species generally show a bimodal …

The availability of flowering plants affected the sugar feeding rates of female Aedes aegypti
(L.) in 4 areas of a small city in southern Mexico. The proportion of mosquitoes containing …

The following is based largely on the authors' abstract. A study involving the ROCK wild-type
strain of Aedes aegypti (L.) and strains with genetic markers showed that caged females of …

Experimental observations, made outdoors during the dry and wet seasons in Trinidad,
demonstrate that more than 70% of female Aedes aegypti that are destined to oviposit within …
