Mortality rate of Aedes aegypti larvae fed with transgenic Chlorella vulgaris following liquid nitrogen treatment. Water: larvae fed with water; Fodder: larvae fed with fodder; HOC5: larvae fed with non-transgenic C. vulgaris strain HOC5; Maa7: larvae fed with empty plasmid Maa7IR/XIR transgenic C. vulgaris strain; 3HKT-1, 3HKT-3 and 3HKT-12: larvae fed with transgenic C. vulgaris strains 3HKT-1, 3HKT-3 and 3HKT-12. 3HKT1-LN, 3HKT3-LN and 3HKT12-LN: larvae fed with liquid nitrogen treated transgenic C. vulgaris strains 3HKT-1, 3HKT-3 and 3HKT-12. Each treated or control group contained 10 Aedes larvae. Experiments were repeated thrice, and average values are reported. Duration: 10 days
