Effects of a blood-free mosquito diet (BLOODless) on fitness and gonotrophic cycle parameters of laboratory reared Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (IFAKARA)

2024-03-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The current rise of new innovative tools for mosquito control such as the release of transgenic mosquitoes carrying a dominant lethal gene and Wolbachia -based strategies necessitates a massive production of mosquitoes in the insectary. However, currently laboratory rearing depends on vertebrate blood for egg production and maintenance. This practice raises, ethical concerns, incurs logistica...
