Effects of different antibiotics in Aedes aegypti fecundity after feeding on mouse blood. A, number of eggs laid by antibiotic-treated and untreated mosquitoes; B, number of oocytes in antibiotic-treated and untreated mosquitoes 48 h after blood feeding; C, number of oocytes during the first gonotrophic cycle in antibiotic-treated mosquitoes 48 h after blood feeding; D, number of oocytes during the second gonotrophic cycle in mosquitoes 48 h post-blood feeding after suspension of antibiotic treatment. Each point represents the number of eggs/oocytes in one female mosquito. Co, control; Spe, spectinomycin; Gen, gentamycin; Car, carbenicillin; Kan, kanamycin; Tet, tetracycline. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001). Car (-), carbenicillin suspended on the second gonotrophic cycle; Tet (-), tetracycline suspended on the second gonotrophic cycle. The mean ± SEM are represented by horizontal lines.
