Rearing of Ma. uniformis has been carried out for the purposes of experimental research on filarial disease. Many constrains were encountered in the effort to find an appropriate method of rearing for the high yield of the mosquitoes in the laboratory. Further studies to improve the method of rearing be developed.
A trial was conducted using ULV spraying of Lorsban 480 EC (dosages 100 ml/ha and 150 ml/ha), Lorsban 150 ULV (dosages 250 ml/ha) and Malathion 96 EC (dosages 500 ml/ha) against Aedes aegypti-vector of DHF-in Semarang regencyn 1994. Spraying was conducted using portable ULV fontan generator in the morning for two cycles with 7 days interval. The air bioassay test for all insectisides tested sho…
The temperature and humidity are, among others, factors which affect the life span of mosquitoes, Caged female Ae. aegypti mosquitoes, kept inside and outside a building were studied in Semarang and Salatiga. During the study, the temperature and the humidity in Semarang (200 m above sea level) were 29.41 degree celcius and 75.07 percent respectively and in Salatiga (600 above sea level) 23.56 …
