Does membrane feeding compromise the quality of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes?

2019-07-26

Abstract excerpt

Modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are being mass-reared for release in disease control programs around the world. Releases involving female mosquitoes rely on them being able to seek and feed on human hosts. To facilitate the mass-production of mosquitoes for releases, females are often provided blood through artificial membrane feeders. When reared across generations there is a risk that mosquitoes will adapt to...
