Abstract
The influence of larval diet and population density on pre-adult developmental rate, adult population sizes, pre-adult survival and sex ratio was investigated. Mean developmental period varied significantly with low larval densities. Similarly, there were significant variations of developmental periods with different diets. A comparison of the survival rate of larvae fed with the three types of diets showed significant variations (P KEY WORDS: Larval diet, population density, Pre-adult developmental rate, Laboratory populations, Culex quinquefasciatus.
