Journal ArticleDOI
Life table study of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Puerto Rico fed only human blood versus blood plus sugar.
TL;DR: It is concluded that feeding on human blood is reproductively beneficial for Ae.
Journal Article
An experimental study on the detection of fructose in Aedes aegypti
TL;DR: The cold anthrone test can detect a 10% sucrose solution in male and female Aedes aegypti up to approximately 4 days after ingestion, the test is sensitive enough to detect 0.6 microgram of fructose, and the cutoff point for defining positive fructose values in field-collected females should be based on blood-engorged specimens.
Journal Article
Increased fecundity of Aedes aegypti fed human blood before release in a mark-recapture study in Puerto Rico.
TL;DR: Results from this field study are consistent with laboratory life-table experiments that suggest feeding exclusively on human blood provides a reproductive advantage for female A. aegypti.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of starved Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Puerto Rico and Thailand.
TL;DR: The results indicate that in some regions, there are seasonal differences in the length of time female Ae.
