Pragmatic selection of larval mosquito diets for insectary rearing of Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti.
Larval mosquitoes are aquatic omnivorous scavengers which scrape food from submerged surfaces and collect suspended food particles with their mouth brushes. The composition of diets that have been used in insectaries varies widely though necessarily provides sufficient nutrition to allow colonies to...
