埃及伊蚊的防治(双翅目：蚊科)种群对于减少几种普遍存在的人类疾病的传播至关重要。新的媒介控制技术的成功将受到实验室饲养的转基因雄性的适合性的影响。然而，关于饲养方式如何影响伊蚊雄性健康的公开数据相对较少。在实验室里，使用一系列不同的健康指标，测试了幼虫食物供应对成年雄性健康的影响。幼虫的食物可获得性与成体大小呈正相关。体型较大的雄性存活时间更长，并表现出更大的群居活动。因此，体型较大的雄性在野外可能有更多的交配机会。然而，我们也发现，在一个群体中，体型较大的雄性与雌性交配的可能性并没有增加。交配竞争实验的结果取决于用来标记雄性的方法。这些结果表明，健康评估可能会根据所分析的衡量标准和确定它的方法而有所不同。对这些健康测量和方法的持续研究，以及关键的是，它们对预测男性在野外表现的有效性，将提高媒介控制计划的效率。
Control of Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) populations is vital for reducing the transmission of several pervasive human diseases. The success of new vector control technologies will be influenced by the fitness of laboratory-reared transgenic males. However, there has been relatively little published data on how rearing practices influence male fitness in Aedes mosquitoes. In the laboratory, the effect of larval food availability on adult male fitness was tested, using a range of different fitness measures. Larval food availability was demonstrated to be positively correlated with adult body size. Larger males survived longer and exhibited greater swarming activity. As a consequence, larger males may have more mating opportunities in the wild. However, we also found that within a swarm larger males did not have an increased likelihood of copulating with a female. The outcome of the mating competition experiments depended on the methodology used to mark the males. These results show that fitness assessment can vary depending on the measure analyzed, and the methodology used to determine it. Continued investigation into these fitness measures and methodologies, and critically, their utility for predicting male performance in the field, will increase the efficiency of vector control programs.
