Rearing Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in a laboratory setting
Masters SW , Knapek KJ , Kendall LV . Lab Animal Sci Prof 2020 55 (6) 42-45 Many species of insects have been used in a plethora of scientific studies.3 Laboratory reared mosquitoes are particularly integral to arthropod-borne disease experiments, especially with the recent emergence in North America of Zika virus in the human population. Aedes aegypti (Figure 1) is the preferred model for researchers because of their capacity to spread viruses such as, Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever4 as well as their relatively short rearing times in a laboratory insectary and the ability to store their eggs for up to 6 mo. |
