A comprehensive assessment of inbreeding and laboratory adaptation in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2017-12-21

Abstract excerpt

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 have failed due to poor competitiveness of the released mosquitoes. We hypothesized that colonized mosquito populations could suffer from inbreeding depression and adapt to laboratory conditions, reducing their performance in the field. W...
