Evaluation of Mesocyclops annulatus (Copepoda: Cyclopoidea) as a Control Agent of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Argentina
We evaluated the potential of Mesocyclops annulatus as a control agent of Aedes aegypti in La Plata city (Argentina). Mosquito larval survivorship due to predation by these copepods was estimated at weekly intervals during the oviposition period of A. aegypti. Mean weekly A. aegypti larval survivors...

| description | We evaluated the potential of Mesocyclops annulatus as a control
agent of Aedes aegypti in La Plata city (Argentina). Mosquito larval
survivorship due to predation by these copepods was estimated at weekly
intervals during the oviposition period of A. aegypti. Mean weekly A.
aegypti larval survivorship in cylindrical plastic containers (12 cm
height and 11 cm diameter) with copepods was significantly lower than
in control containers. Furthermore, weekly larval survival was
negatively correlated with M. annulatus adult density, and
approximately 23 adult copepods/container would be a threshold density
over which the weekly mosquito larval survivorship approached zero. The
copepods were able to persist in all containers during approximately
100 days (in three of them until the end of the experiment: 155 days)
without the resource represented by A. aegypti larvae. The predation
and persistence observed suggest that M. annulatus is a potential
control agent to be considered in biological control programs. |
