我们确定了是否模拟死亡的幼虫蚊子在食物匮乏的水体增加成年女性的出现，以及他们的大小，通过释放剩余的幼虫竞争食物。去除幼虫埃及伊蚊饲养容器与次优量的食物增加了成年人出现的数量。因此，杀幼虫措施并不必然导致疾病蚊子媒介数量的减少。在限制食物的繁殖地，部分有效的抗幼虫措施可能适得其反，可能增加病媒传播疾病的传播。
We determined whether simulated mortality of larval mosquitoes in food-deprived bodies of water increases emergence of adult females as well as their size by releasing the remaining larvae from competition for food. Removal of larval Aedes aegypti from rearing containers with suboptimal amounts of food increased the number of adults that emerged. Thus, larvicidal measures do not inevitably lead to reduced numbers of mosquito vectors of disease. In food-limiting breeding sites, partially effective anti-larvae measures can be counterproductive, perhaps increasing transmission of vector-borne disease.
