Data are presented as the . No significant differences were observed by the Mann–Whitney test between the wild mosquito (WM) and the transgenic mosquito (TM). D’Agostino and Pearson normality test results for adult male size-WM (K2: 16.73, value: 0.0002), TM (K2: 24.14, value < 0.0001); for adult female size-WM (K2: 85.77, value: 0.0001), TM (K2: 15.61, value < 0.0004); for adult male wing size-WM (K2: 15.01, value: 0.0006), TM (K2: 11.63, value < 0.003); and for adult female wing size-WM (K2: 8.117, value: 0.0173), TM (K2: 13.57, value < 0.0011).
