Host species diversity and post-blood feeding carbohydrate availability enhance survival of females and fecundity in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)
RD Xue, A Ali, DR Barnard - Experimental parasitology, 2008 - Elsevier
Aedes albopictus mosquito is an opportunistic blood feeder and has a broad host range.
The feeding behavior and habits of this mosquito are liable to increase the transmission
potential of arboviruses. The survival and fecundity in A. albopictus fed on different hosts
and post-blood meal provision of sugar were investigated in a laboratory-reared colony.
Adult survival of caged female A. albopictus that were fed on blood of two different hosts
(double meal) was higher than the females fed only on one host (single meal)(mean …
