A convenient mosquito membrane feeding system.
A convenient, electronically controlled, in situ, membrane feeding system is described. Evaluation of the system for feeding single pair-mated Aedes aegypti with defibrinated, refrigerated pig blood indicated no significant difference from mouse-fed controls in rat of egg maturation, fecundity, or pupal yield. The feeding system is also suitable for use with substitute protein meals.
