Table 2. Oviposition and fertility of Ae. cretinus females previously crossed with Ae. albopictus (treatment) or Ae. cretinus (control) males in groups of 20 and then paired with Ae. cretinus males individually.

	Aedes cretinus females
	Total		Fertile ♀
	No. ♀	Mean No. of eggs per ♀ (±SEM)**	No. ♀	Percentage (%)*	Mean No. of eggs (±SEM)**	Mean % of hatched larvae (±SEM)**
Treatment	57	67.6±3.7a	10	17.5a	69.4±7.6a	69.5±13.6a
control	54	77.3±1.5a	54	100b	77.3±1.5a	90±1.7a

* Percentages with different letters are significantly different (P< 0.05, x ² test).

** Means in a column followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P>0.05, Mann—Whitney U test).
