Effects of alternative blood sources on <i>Wolbachia</i> infected <i>Aedes aegypti</i> females within and across generations

2018-09-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Wolbachia bacteria have been identified as a tool for reducing the transmission of arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti. Research groups around the world are now mass rearing Wolbachia infected Ae. aegypti for deliberate release. We investigated the fitness impact of a crucial element of mass rearing: the blood meal required by female Ae. aegypti to lay eggs. Although Ae. aegypti almost...
