Figure 1

Schematic diagram showing the pyriproxyfen-exposure times for Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Culex quinquefasciatus . Blue arrows show treatment groups exposed before a bloodmeal, red arrows show treatment groups exposed after a bloodmeal. Control females were exposed to acetone at 0.5 hours before bloodmeal. Time of egg-laying was in Anopheles gambiae s.s. 72 hours after a bloodmeal (6 day old females) and in Culex quinquefasciatus 144 hours after a bloodmeal (9 day old females). All treatment groups and control were tested in parallel, 20 individual females at a time, repeated 4–5 times (rounds).
