Reproduction-Longevity Trade-Off in <I>Anopheles gambiae</I> (Diptera: Culicidae)
31 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Reduced survival and future reproduction due to of current reproduction is a trade-off known as the cost of reproduction. Surprisingly, only a few studies have assessed the cost of reproduction in arthropod disease vectors, despite its effect on longevity, and thus on vectorial capacity. We evaluated the cost of reproduction on survival of Anopheles gambiae Giles by comparing mosquitoes that were denied exposure...
