Daily survivorship and fecundity of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were monitored for cohorts
provided with five nutritional treatments: water, 2% sucrose, blood from a live chicken plus …

Survival of adult Aedes aegypti (L.) was studied in Thailand (1995) and Puerto Rico (1996)
during periods of high and low dengue virus transmission. Resting males and females were …

Mortality is a critical factor in determining a mosquito's ability to transmit pathogens. We
investigated the effect of human blood feeding and reproduction on mortality of the dengue …

Anthropophilic mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti L.(Diptera: Culicidae) have been shown
to have superior reproductive success on human blood when sugar is not available. Life …

The effect of adult diet on host biting, sugar probing and water probing patterns, oviposition
behavior, and survival of Aedes aegypti (L.) from Charters Towers, Australia, were tested in …

We examined the utilization of sugar and human blood as nutrient sources for small and
large female Aedes aegypti (L.) when they were fed blood 2 or 5 d after emergence …

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) females were more likely to develop eggs after they ingested
small blood meals than were Aedes aegypti (L.) when both species were maintained under …

Life table studies were performed in 1996 with Aedes aegypti (L.) during the low (cool/dry)
and high (hot/rainy) dengue virus transmission seasons in Puerto Rico. Mated adult females …

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 …

We determined whether size, an indirect measure of teneral energy reserves, modifies the
fitness advantage (sigma survival x egg production/female/day) conferred to female Aedes …
