Fig. 5: Spatial dynamics of larval and adult population suppression.
From: A standalone incompatible insect technique enables mosquito suppression in the urban subtropics
a Spatial-temporal dynamics of weekly hatched eggs per trap at the release site and control site for each release phase. The white dots indicate the location of the ovitrap at the release site and control site. The different color indicates the average number of weekly hatched eggs for each trap during each phase. b Spatial-temporal dynamics of suppression on A. albopictus female adults at the release site for each release phase. c Reduction in mosquito biting. Mosquito human landing catches in the release and control sites. Data are shown as the means ± SEMs. Before-release: June 21, 2020–July 6, 2020; After-release: July 6, 2020–November 1, 2020. Two-sided paired t test, Before-release, t = 1.778, release site: n = 4, control site: n = 4, 3 degrees of freedom, P = 0.1734; After-release, t = 3.565, release site: n = 7, control site: n = 7, 6 degrees of freedom, P = 0.0119*.
