Abstract
On the basis of the number of viable eggs produced per cage and per female Anopheles albimanus, the optimum male–female sex ratio in the mass-rearing cages (0.23 m3) was found to be 1:3. The most efficient stocking rate for this cage size was 4000 pupae every 2 days. Production was ca 236,000 viable eggs/man-hour expended.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
