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).
