Mating competitiveness and life‐table comparisons between transgenic and Indian wild‐type <i>Aedes aegypti</i> L.

Abstract

The laboratory study demonstrates that only minor life-table variations of limited biological relevance exist between OX513A and Indian Ae. aegypti populations, and males had equal potential for mating competitiveness. Thus, results support the OX513A strain as a suitable candidate for continued evaluation towards sustainable management of Ae. aegypti populations in India.
