What is the best recipe for a blood substitute diet to culture Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes?

21 October 2013 1 1K Report

I am looking for recipes for a blood substitute diet to culture Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in the lab. I have the recipe from Griffith & Turner 1996, but I am just wondering if there are others or if anyone has modified this one.
