Experimental data for Sugar diet affects Culex pipiens early-life mortality, biochemical parameters and immunocompetence

[Description of methods used for collection/generation of data] We experimentally evaluated how the survival rate, body mass, body composition (i.e. protein, lipid, glucose, glycogen), and immunocompetence (i.e. number of hemocytes) of Culex pipiens females were affected by sugar concentration in their diet. To do so, we reared field-captured larvae in the laboratory and the emerged mosquito females were randomly assigned to different concentrations of sucrose offered ad-libitum (mass/volume%: 0,5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 16%). Mosquitoes were analyzed at three different ages, 7-, 14-, and 21- days post-emergence (dpe).

[数据收集/生成方法说明] 我们通过实验评估了饮食蔗糖浓度对尖音库蚊（Culex pipiens）雌蚊的存活率、体重、身体组成（即蛋白质、脂质、葡萄糖、糖原含量）以及免疫功能（即血细胞数量）的影响。为此，我们在实验室中饲养野外捕获的蚊幼虫，将羽化后的雌蚊随机分配至不同浓度的蔗糖溶液中自由取食（质量体积百分比：0、5%、1%、2%、4%、8%、16%）。分别在羽化后7、14和21天（dpe）对受试蚊子进行分析检测。
