A semi laboratory experiment using 3 cohorts of Aedes albopictus adults was performed
to obtain age-specific mortality and fecundity information and to derive statistical estimates of
some population growth parameters. Life expectancy was calculated for both males and females.
The following population parameters were estimated: intrinsic rate of increase (rm= 0.21), net
reproductive (replacement) rate (Ro= 68.70), age at mean cohort reproduction (To=10.55 days),
birth rate (B=0.23), death rate (D=0.02) and generation time (G=20.14 days). The high rm/B (0.91)
and B/D (11.50) ratios indicated the high colonizing ability of Ae. albopictus in nature.
