Aedes aegypti reproductive aspects: constant light significantly affects the embryonic development
Our results proved the negative effect of constant light on egg production (decreasing the fecundity) and embryonic development (causing a drop in egg viability and perceptive damage in the embryos). The results presented here bring new information on the impacts that a source of constant light may have on the reproductive biology of Ae. aegypti.
