Eggs Laid Using the New Technique

Caption

Researchers at LSTM have developed a new technique which encourages the female Anopheles funestus mosquitoes to lay eggs which are then reared into adult mosquitoes to provide sufficient numbers to determine levels of insecticide resistance and to characterise the underlying mechanisms. This image shows eggs being laid using the new technique.
