Development of an Alternative Low-Cost Larval Diet for Mass Rearing of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Table 3

Life history parameters of Ae. aegypti fed different larval diets.

Larval diet	Fecundity (for 100 females)	Fertility (%)	Male survival time/longevity (days)	Flight ability (%)
D1	^b (1351.4-1377.0)	^a (94.8-96.0)	^b (14.8-16.2)	^a (95.5-96.5)
D2	^a ()	^a (97.7-98.3)	^a (17.8-18.6)	^a (98.1-98.5)
D3	^a (1420.9-1461.1)	^a (97.0-98.0)	^a (17.7-18.3)	^a (98.0-98.4)

Note: values are the with the range in parenthesis. Different letters in a column denote significant differences () at a 95% level of confidence based on the General Linear Model followed by Tukey’s pairwise comparison.
