Assessment of packing density and transportation effect on sterilized pupae and adult Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in non-chilled conditions

•Packing density and life stage affect transporting males in non-chilled conditions.•Transport reduced survival and longevity of adults except pupae.•Overcrowding was the limiting factor for transporting pupae.•Weak evidence denoting mating competitiveness of Aedes adults were compromised.•Mating competitiveness reduced in transporting pupae.
