Optimizing and synchronizing Aedes aegypti colony for Sterile Insect Technique application: Egg hatching, larval development, and adult emergence rate

•Higher egg density in the hatching flask resulted in a lower hatching rate.•Fresher Ae. aegypti eggs yielded a 93 % hatching rate than older eggs.•Over 95 % of Ae. aegypti adults emerged on the first two days – indicating a high synchronicity.•Optimizing egg hatching and larval rearing improves col...
