Comparison of larval eating capacity of two indigenous larvivorous fishes in malaria vector control in laboratory conditions in Dogbo district in south-western Benin, West Africa

Because of problems with insecticide resistance, alternative malaria control methods were necessary. These include the use biological agents, such as larvivorous fish. This study aimed to compare larval eating capacity two indigenous fishes in vector laboratory conditions Dogbo district south-western Benin. Larvae Anopheles gambiae sensu lato mosquitoes collected from breeding sites using dipping method July 2020 during rainy season district. Alive Clarias gariepinus and Orechromis niloticus bought immediately once catched by fishers Ganvié location So-Ava carried car Laboratory. Laboratory evaluation for efficacy was conducted. The results obtained current showed that fish when this fed higher than conditions. Similar these different unfed. In a context environmental crisis global changes, environmentally friendly should be encouraged. predators is obviously insufficient study.
