Optimizing Aedes albopictus rearing: effects of insect- and bacteria-based larval diets on immature and adult performance

Abstract Mass production of Aedes albopictus for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) requires cost-effective and nutritionally balanced larval diets to ensure high survival, optimal development and competitive adult fitness. This study evaluates the potential of insect-derived meals and dead autoclaved b...
