The fundamental approach to the biological control of Aedes albopictus requires the mass
rearing of mosquitoes and the release of highly competitive adults in the field. As the fitness …

This study focuses on two competing species, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera:
Culicidae), both invasive mosquitoes of the New World. Context-specific competition …

To set up a sterile male technique program to control Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in areas in
northern Italy, a pilot mass-rearing facility is under development. For this purpose …

Background Oviposition-site choice is an essential component of the life history of all
mosquito species. According to the oviposition-preference offspring-performance (PP) …

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is an invasive mosquito species found across the southern US
with range expansion into many northern states. Intra‐and interspecific larval competition …

Male and female mosquito larvae compete for different subsets of the yeast food resource in
laboratory microcosms. Males compete more intensely with males, and females with …

Mass-rearing of mosquitoes under laboratory conditions is an important part of several new
control techniques that rely on the release of males to control mosquito populations. While …

1. Few studies have taken a comprehensive approach of measuring the impact of inter‐and
intra‐specific larval competition on adult mosquito traits. In this study, the impact of …

Simple Summary Mosquitoes represent a potential major public health concern, as they are
capable of transmitting several pathogens when biting humans. It is well known that …

Simple Summary The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is an important invasive
species of medical concern, which could be successfully suppressed by including the sterile …
