Age and Body Size Influence Male Sperm Capacity of the Dengue Vector<i>Aedes aegypti</i>(Diptera: Culicidae)

2007-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Understanding mosquito mating biology is essential for studies of mosquito behavior, gene flow, population structure, and genetic control. In the current study, we examine the effect of age and body size on spermatozoa number in two laboratory strains of the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti (L.), Thailand and Rockefeller (ROCK), and in wild-collected mosquitoes from Thailand. Body size was a major predictor of total s...
