*—The values between brackets represent the standard deviation.
The first gonotrophic cycle occurred with a virgin female mating with one of the males (group A wild-type and group B transgenic), they were replaced by a different type of male (group A transgenic and group B wild-type) every subsequent gonotrophic cycle (up to the 6th).
