Table 2.

Fecundity rates of mosquitoes of different species fed via either the PTFE-membrane based artificial feeding method (AF) or the direct host feeding method (DHF)

Mosquito species	Artificial feeding (AF) (No. eggs/mosquito)	Direct human feeding (DHF) (No. eggs/mosquito)	Paired t-test
	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD
Anopheles arabiensis	8.82 ± 7.02	8.02 ± 5.81	t₍₉₎ = 1.1664, P = 0.273
Anopheles gambiae	6.49 ± 2.90	7.32 ± 5.15	t₍₇₎ = 0.4959, P = 0.635
Aedes aegypti	13.14 ± 1.65	12.80 ± 1.00	t₍₃₎ = 1.0091, P = 0.387
