چکیده
Mosquito mats with active ingredient d-allethrin (36 mg/mat) and prallethrin (15 mg/mat) were tested in the laboratory against Aedes aegypti (L.) and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) using test method of the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia. Results indicated that KT50 values for d-allethrin against Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus were 1.38 min and 8.36 min, respectively. There were significant differences between Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus (t test, 95%, p<0.05) which were tested with d-allethrin and prallethrin. Ae. aegypti that were tested with d-allethrin and prallethrin showed that percentage mortality were 63.33% and 90.00%, respectively. Longevity of Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus species decreased more than 80% and 45%, respectively, after exposure to mosquito mats containing either d-allethrin or prallethrin. The percentage of blood-engorgement activity for Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus was reduced to less than 70% and 25% respectively after a 20 min exposure to mat containing either one of active ingredients. The number of eggs oviposited by the treated females, egg hatchability, pupation rate and adult emergence rate were not affected if the mosquitoes were still able to blood-engorge.

Toxic Response of Mosquito Culex Quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) to some Agricultural Pesticides (Butachlor and Pertilachlor)
Background: The expansion of herbicide used in aquatic ecosystems as well as in terrestrial if is not properly controlled may produce harmful effects on freshwater fisheries. Residue limits of these agricultural chemicals in tropical fishery waters should be established. The aim of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of butachlor and pertilachlor as potential dangerous herbicides to ...

Three mosquito species, Culex tarsalis Coquillett, Culex quinquefasciatus Say and Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae), were examined in laboratory binary choice experiments to investigate whether fish exudates from the mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis (Baird & Girard) (Cyprinodontiformes: Poecilliidae), deter oviposition and whether the responses of these mosquito species to fish exudates in ov...
