Abstract (part)
Development times of all larval and pupal stages of
Ae. aegypti and
Cx. quinquefasciatus were significantly affected by the rearing temperatures, decreasing when temperature increased. Mean
Ae. aegypti total (larva+pupa) development time ranged from 21.9 to 8.6 days, at 15.2 and 25.3°C, whereas, for [i]Cx.
