Life table parameters of transgenic and nontransgenic Anopheles stephensi

Mosquito line Net
reproductive
rate (R0)		 Generation
time (Tc)		 Intrinsic rate of
growth (rm)
Nontransgenic 58.52 ± 13.02 24.38 ± 1.28 0.1655 ± 0.0005
VD9 51.23 ± 5.04 23.72 ± 1.09 0.1655 ± 0.0015
VD35 32.58 ± 4.58 21.18 ± 1.16 0.1644 ± 0.0008
VD26 36.36 ± 0.74 21.80 ± 0.16 0.1648 ± 0.0021

Data are mean ± SD. No significant differences were observed by the Mann–Whitney test for the 3 parameters between nontransgenic and the homozygous transgenic lines.
