Field oviposition choice experiments
In La Lopé, experimental containers placed in the forest produced 73Ae. aegypti , with 51 from the bamboo containers and 22 from artificial containers. In parallel, bamboo and artificial containers placed in the village yield 10 and 73 Ae. aegypti , respectively. In Rabai forest, from the containers used in the field experiment, we found 64 Ae. aegypti from bamboo containers and 645 from the plastic buckets and earthenware jars. In Rabai villages, bamboo and artificial containers produced 1 and 353 Ae. aegypti . When examining these experimental containers’ bacterial communities, NMDS analysis found that regardless of the container type and the habitats in which they were located, all experimental containers clustered with the village (peridomestic and domestic) larval breeding sites (Figure S10).
