in order to determine the control of breeding sources of culex larvae in sewage wells by the larvicide abate, some studies were performed in the summer and autumn of 1972. in general, it was noticed in these studies that:1. the wells chosen as a control (5 wells) were active throughout the study periods and adult mosquitoes were captured plentifully. 2 in 4 sewage wells which were controlled by...

Sublethal concentrations of Abate (temephos) were applied to F2 generation Aedes aegypti larvae, and fecundity and longevity were recorded in the emerged adults. Females exposed to Abate oviposited only in the first 2 gonotrophic cycles, meanwhile control females laid a few eggs after taking the third blood meal. Dosages of 0.009, 0.013 and 0.015 mg/liter of Abate decreased the mean egg product...

A new method for staining capsules is described. With this method appearances are produced about the somata of a number of non-capsulated organisms which resemble capsules.

We evaluated the susceptibility of Galerucella calmariensis, a species used to control purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), to three mosquito control larvicides. Larvae and adults were fed loosestrife cuttings dipped in Abate (< or = 375 g x L(-1)), Altosid (< or = 250 g x L(-1)), and Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis (Bti) (< or = 110 g x L(-1)). Eggs on cuttings were dipped in the sa...
