Interspecific competition occurs between members of two or more different species and can often have an influence on mosquito populations. Both Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stepehensi are container breeding mosquitoes and co-exist which may result in larval competition. In this study, interspecific competition between the above two species has been monitored under the laboratory conditions.
