The fastest development was in second instars held at 34 degrees; vesicles and oospores occurred in 50% of the larvae (the median development time) 19.7 and 25.0 h, respectively, after infection. The greatest median time to the formation of vesicles was in third instars at 15 degrees C (185.6 h) and for oospores was in second instars at 15 degrees C (152.3 h). The fungus did not form oospores in fourth instars at 15 degrees C. The median developmental rates of vesicles and oospores in each instar were fit to the Sharpe & DeMichele model, which may be used to predict the effects of different temperatures on the in-vivo developmental rate of the fungus.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={PATEL, KJ and RUEDA, LM and AXTELL, RC and STINNER, RE}, year={1991}, month={Jan}, pages={95–100} } @article{patel_rueda_axtell_1990, title={Comparisons of different types and concentrations of alginates for encapsulation of Lagenidium giganteum (Oomycetes: Lagenidiales), a fungal pathogen of mosquito larvae}, volume={6}, journal={Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association}, author={Patel, K.

The Sharpe & DeMichele four-parameter model with high-temperature inhibition described the temperature-dependent median developmental rates of both mosquito species. In both species, body size generally decreased as temperature increased. Head capsule widths in all instars in both species were significantly greater at 15 than at 30-34 degrees C. Except for the third instar of Ae. aegypti, the larval body lengths in both species were significantly greater at 15 than at 34 degrees C. All instars and pupae of both species and the adults in Cx. quinquefasciatus were significantly heavier at 15 than at 27-34 degrees C. In Cx. quinquefasciatus, survival from eclosion to adult emergence was highest in the range from 20 to 30 degrees C (85-90%) and dropped drastically at 15 (38%) and 34 degrees C (42%). In Ae. aegypti, survival to adult stage was high at 20 (92%) and 27 degrees C (90%) and lowest at 15 degrees C (3%).}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY}, author={RUEDA, LM and PATEL, KJ and AXTELL, RC and STINNER, RE}, year={1990}, month={Sep}, pages={892–898} }
