Effect of Larval Nutritional Regimes on Morphometry and Vectorial Capacity of Aedes aegypti for Dengue Transmission

Table 4

Biting frequency, longevity, fecundity, and survival rate of adult Aedes aegypti fed with different concentration of larval diet.

Diet concentration (%)	Biting frequency (%)	Longevity (days)	Fecundity (number of eggs)	Survival rate (%)
6	76.56 ± 1.52^a	33.5 ± 2.5^a	60.4 ± 10.8^a	94.95 ± 0.35^a
	(75.04–78.08)	(31.0–36.0)	(49.6–71.2)	(94.60–95.30)
8	82.91 ± 3.07^a	34.50 ± 2.5^a	65.24 ± 6.32^a	95.3 ± 1.30^b
	(82.84–82.98)	(32.0–37.0)	(58.92–71.56)	(94.0–96.6)
10	99.6 ± 0.4^b	37.0 ± 2.0^a	116.40 ± 0.78^b	97.95 ± 0.65^b
	(99.2–100.0)	(35.0–39.0)	(115.62–117.18)	(97.30–98.60)

Note. Values are mean ± SE, range in parenthesis. Different superscript letters in a column show significant differences () as suggested by General Linear Modelling followed by Tukey’s HSD (honest significant difference) at 95% level of significance.
