Claustrophilic oviposition: oviposition performance depends on container size in a novel forced oviposition method for Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti

Kendra A. Dagg, Alden S. Estep, Cason E. Bartz, Edwin R. Burgess

This paper introduces a modified forced oviposition method for Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti, showing that smaller containers increase oviposition rates and that the method is effective for generating F1 progeny for vector research.
