Parasites & Vectors

Table 1 Main pupal production parameter obtained with the selection for dimorphism

Generation	No. of pupae processed	Mesh size (μm)	% Pupal production on L₁ (± SD)	% Females (± SD)
F₀	1468	1400	11.81 (±2.07)^a	1.29 (±11.31)^a
F₃	1237	1400	30.93 (±46.22)^b	9.22 (±28.94)^b
F₃	449	1180	11.23 (±31.57)^a	0.22 (±4.72)^a

Abbreviations: L₁, first-instar larvae; SD, standard deviation
Within a column, different letters indicate statistically significant difference (P < 0.001)
