Egg hatching rate
upin A. gambiae1
Onset of dry season conditions increase egg hatching rate in A. gambiae.
“A better egg hatching rate was recorded overall with conditions mimicking the onset of the dry season compared to the peak of the rainy season.”

Larval development time
upin A. gambiae1
Onset of dry season conditions increase larval development time in A. gambiae.
“Larval development time and longevity of An. gambiae s.l. female were significantly longer at the onset of the dry season compared than at the peak of the rainy season.”
