Article Synopsis
- Aedes albopictus, a highly invasive mosquito species, relies on photoperiodic diapause for survival in challenging conditions, and its role as a dengue virus vector in Guangzhou is significant.
- In laboratory experiments, both yeast powder and food slurry were effective in inducing diapause in over 80% of the mosquitoes, with a critical photoperiod of approximately 12.312 hours of light identified.
- Field studies showed distinct seasonal patterns, with low populations from December to February and diapause incidence linked to specific day lengths, highlighting the importance of light exposure for egg survival during winter in Guangzhou.
