Male mating success of homozygous transgenic and nontransgenic Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes

Male genotype Percentage of progeny
produced by transgenic
males (%)
Relative mating
success of
transgenic line
to nontransgenic
line*
Transgenic VD9 46 ± 5.2 (n = 100) 0.85
Transgenic VD35 44 ± 5.2 (n = 100) 0.79
Transgenic VD26 42 ± 4.2 (n = 100) 0.72

Data are mean ± SD. No significant differences were observed between nontransgenic and transgenic mosquitoes for any of the 3 transgenic lines.

*

Relative mating success is calculated as the ratio of percentage of progeny from transgenic males to wild-type males. For example, VD9 relative mating success is calculated as: 46/(100 – 46).
