Aedes aegypti Knockdown and Mortality Rates Across Six Generations

Han-Hsuan Chung published a dataset on figshare in 2026. The data likely contains knockdown rates and mortality percentages for female and male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes across generations G0 to G5. The mosquitoes were selected according to the LC50 of the insecticide cypermethrin.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in insecticide resistance based on knockdown rates across six generations
• Compare mortality differences between female and male mosquitoes exposed to cypermethrin
• Model the development of resistance based on selection pressure from LC50 concentrations

Strengths

• Data covers six distinct generations (G0-G5) of mosquitoes
• Includes separate measurements for female and male subjects
• File is available in a standard spreadsheet format (XLSX)

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small (14.1 KB), indicating limited scope
