Laboratory vs Wild Mortality

The literature review found 38 cohort-survival examples across laboratory, semi-field, and MRR studies. Laboratory and semi-field conditions can allow more mosquitoes to reach ages where intrinsic deterioration is prominent. Using laboratory survival alone is inadequate for wild malaria vectors. Protected laboratory and semi-field conditions can underestimate wild mortality and overestimate senescence magnitude in natural populations. The literature review identified laboratory, semi-field, and mark-release-recapture mortality studies.
