From: Increased biting rate and decreased Wolbachia density in irradiated Aedes mosquitoes
Altered biting behavior in irradiated Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti. The experiment was carried out in laboratory cages by offering a blood meal each day over two sets of 5 subsequent days interrupted by 2 days of rest and starting with 5-day-old females. a Daily mean percentage of biting SANG and ARwP Ae. albopictus; b mean weekly number of bites per SANG and ARwP Ae. albopictus female over 2 weeks; c daily mean percentage of biting Ae. aegypti; d mean weekly number of bites per Ae. aegypti female over 2 weeks; a and c: within each mosquito population, different letters indicate statistically significant differences between treatments (repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test: P < 0.05); b and d: within each mosquito population, different letters indicate statistically significant differences between treatments (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test: P < 0.05)
