Table 1. Wing length-fecundity functions f(wx) and D values for the three mosquito species, and the studies from which these values and functions were derived.
Species | Function | D | Data/function Source |
A. aegypti | f(wx) = 0.5*(2.50*w3−8.616) | 12 | Briegel 1990 [47] |
A. albopictus | f(wx) = 0.5*(78.02*w−121.240) | 14 | Lounibos et al. 2002 [48] |
C. pipiens | f(wx) = 0.5*(46.83*w−104) | 4.5 | Vinogradova and Karpova 2006 [49] |
In all cases w = wing length in mm.
