Abstract
Methods
Lab experiments
Experiment 1: pure glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides
The purpose of this experiment was to test the impact of pure glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides (formulation), on mosquito life history traits and susceptibility to malaria parasite infection.
Experiment 2: pure glyphosate and food limitation
The purpose of the second experiment was to evaluate the impact of larval exposure to glyphosate associated to a nutritional stress on mosquito life history traits and susceptibility to malaria parasite infection.
For both experiments we measured the impact of glyphosate exposure and nutritional stress on:
Larvae survival rate, developpement time, adult size, blood meal rate, blood meal size, fecundity, susceptibility to malaria parasite infection (infection probability and parasite burden)
