Idade fisiológica dos ovos de aedes (stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (diptera, culicidae)

Resumo

121 days after oviposition, Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypíi (Linnaeus, 1762) (Diptera, Culicidae) eggs were placed in a warm water bath, in a temperature controlled chamber (28 ± 1°C), 80 ± 5% humidity and a 12 hours photoperiod. The eggs originated 5 cycles, in a period of 2 months. The incubation period, was the only variatíon. The fírst instar hatching was in groups, showing that the embrionic phase presented signifícant differences. The average incubation time was 0.9; 5.6; 33.0; 42.5 and 53,2, at the lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4tn, 5th cycles. The purpose of this study was a better understanding of íhe biology and behaviour of A. aegypti, for a further use in other laboratory experíments and also to provide valuable information on control actions.
