Figure 1. Effects of irradiation on the quality of Aedes albopictus GT male mosquitoes. (A) Emergence rate; (B) Flight ability; Data in (A) and (B) are presented as mean ± SD. Each data point represents one biological replicate. Emergence rate and flight ability were analyzed using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) with a binomial error distribution. **** indicates that P < 0.0001. Male mosquito lifespan when fed with sugar (C) or sterilized water (D). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the male longevity between irradiated and control males. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. SD: Standard deviation.
