Simulated field tests in a Haikou neighborhood. A and B Meishe River was used for the test water. C 700 l Meishe River water and 100 l Chlamydomonas were combined in the barrel. D and E Each cage contained about 1000 pupae, and every week the number of adult mosquitoes was counted. F Aedes albopictus population and survival rates in MSH, CC48, 3HKT and HR3 treatments. MSH: During this treatment, mosquitoes exclusively drank water from the Meishe River. 3HKT and HR3: In this treatment, mosquitoes were kept in water from the Meishe River that had been supplemented with recombinant Chlamydomonas 3HKT-3 and HR3-1, respectively.
