Comparison of a pledget technique with other methods for bloodfeeding mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) for virus studies
Journal of the Australian Entomological Society 33 (3), 211-212
Abstract: Three artificial methods for feeding blood/arbovirus mixtures to mosquitoes were investigated. A blood-soaked cotton pledget provided better feeding rates of Aedes vigilax (Skuse) and Culex annulirostris Skuse than a blood-filled rat tail skin or a membrane feeder when compared to a live rat.
