Establishment of a medium-scale mosquito facility: tests on mass production cages for Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Table 3 Egg production, female fecundity and egg hatch rate of Aedes albopictus following blood meals with and without ATP

Treatment	Sex ratio (female: male)	Egg production per cage (10⁴)	Female fecundity	Egg hatch rate (%)
W/O ATP	3000:1000 (3:1)	14.3 ± 1.0^a	47.5 ± 3.4^a	88.9 ± 2.9^a
W ATP	3000:1000 (3:1)	18.6 ± 0.8^b	61.9 ± 2.6^b	86.7 ± 1.1^a

Within each column, values followed by different superscript letters were statistically different according to the Student t-test (P < 0.05)
Abbreviations: W/O ATP blood meals without ATP, W ATP blood meals with ATP (0.05 g/ml)
