Abstract BACKGROUND OX513A is a genetically engineered strain of Aedes aegypti
carrying a repressible, dominantly inherited transgene that confers lethality in immature …

A challenge faced by organisms with complex life cycles is how environmental factors
experienced at an earlier life stage affect the fitness at that stage or are carried over to …

Larval competition is common in container‐breeding mosquitoes. The impact of competition
on larval growth has been thoroughly examined and findings that larval competition can …

To evaluate the influence of larval density in development of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes we
evaluated three different densities. It was observed that conditions of high larval density and …

We assessed the effect of increased larval density on selected life table attributes of larval
Aedes triseriatus. Larvae were reared at densities of 0.125, 0.250, and 0.375 larvae/cm3 of …

Modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes reared in laboratories are being released around the
world to control wild mosquito populations and the diseases they transmit. Several efforts …

Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) and Aedes cretinus are closely related mosquito
species with similar morphological and bio-ecological characteristics. These species have …

1. A recently introduced treehole mosquito from Asia, Aedes albopictus, is spreading
throughout eastern North America, especially in tyre‐refuse piles. Previous studies have …

The implementation of the sterile insect technique for area-wide vector control requires that
natural population density be accurately estimated to determine both the appropriate time to …

Background Mating is a physiological process of crucial importance underlying the size and
maintenance of mosquito populations. In sterile and incompatible insect technologies (SIT …
