Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) mosquito is a vector responsible for increasing global public health concerns due to its rapid geographical spread and increasing vectorial capacity. Understanding the breeding behavior of Ae. aegypti is crucial to control this vector and thereby limiting the spread of diseases. To study this mosquito breeding in the laboratories and ovitraps, different types of lining-papers, surrounding inner surface of a container along with different types of added infusions, are used. Lining-papers serve as surfaces for oviposition and infusions provide the essential environment for nurturing. The types of oviposition surfaces and infusions used in laboratory rearing facilities or ovitraps influence oviposition preference, changing the breeding behavior of Ae. aegypti gravid mosquitoes. This study presents a comparative study on oviposition preferences for six different types of lining-papers and six different types of infusions in a bioassay cage. ANOVA analysis shows a significant effect on oviposition preference of different types of lining-papers that served as oviposition surfaces. The highest oviposition activity was observed for the 'agri seed germination paper-75' lining-paper when normal tap water infusion was used. Likewise, statistical analysis shows that when a 'plain printing offset paper 80 GSM' lining-paper was used, a highly statistically significant effect on oviposition preference is observed for different types of infusions used in the oviposition cups.
埃及伊蚊（林奈）是一种病媒，由于其迅速的地理扩散和不断增加的传播能力，引发了全球对公共卫生的日益关注。了解埃及伊蚊的繁殖行为对于控制这种病媒从而限制疾病传播至关重要。为了在实验室和诱蚊产卵器中研究这种蚊子的繁殖情况，人们使用了不同类型的衬纸，即容器内表面的衬里材料，以及不同类型的添加浸液。衬纸作为产卵的表面，浸液则提供了培育所需的基本环境。实验室饲养设施或诱蚊产卵器中使用的产卵表面和浸液类型会影响产卵偏好，改变埃及伊蚊孕蚊的繁殖行为。本研究在生物测定笼中对六种不同类型的衬纸和六种不同类型的浸液的产卵偏好进行了比较研究。方差分析表明，作为产卵表面的不同类型衬纸对产卵偏好有显著影响。当使用普通自来水浸液时，观察到“农业种子发芽纸 - 75”衬纸的产卵活性最高。同样，统计分析表明，当使用“80克重普通胶版印刷纸”衬纸时，产卵杯中使用的不同类型浸液对产卵偏好有高度统计学意义的影响。
