Abstract

Each study population consisted of a single species of Anopheles gambiae, A. arabiensis, A. merus and A. funestus. The oviposition cycle ranged from 2-4 days. Survival rates per oviposition cycle were similar for A. gambiae and A. merus. Survival rate of A. arabiensis was lower. Expected infective life was longest for A. gambiae in the dry season, when the oviposition cycle was longest.-from Authors
