Aedes albopictus mortality (A, B), pupation (C, D) and eclosion rate (E, F) when fed recombinant Chlamydomonas. Water: water is fed to the larvae; CC48: larvae fed C. reinhardtii CC48; fodder: larvae fed fodder; 3HKT-1 to 3HKT-4: larvae fed with 3HKT RNAi expression cassette co-transformation Chlamydomonas strains 3HKT-1 to 3HKT-4; HR3-1 to HR3-4: larvae fed with HR3 RNAi expression cassette co-transformation Chlamydomonas strains HR3-1 to HR3-4. HR3-D1 and 3HKT-D3: larvae fed with inactive dry powder of recombinant Chlamydomonas HR3-1 and 3HKT-3, respectively. The experiment was done three times, and the average values are presented. Each treated and control group contained ten Aedes larvae. Time frame: 15 days
