Provas biológicas para verificar a suscetibilidade do aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) ao Cythion

Resumo

ultra-low volume - ULV - formula), against Aedes aegypti, The Cythion, at 95% ULV, was applied by means of a LECO equipment, in the dose of 127 ml per minute. Twenty cages with 20 mosquítoes each were used. As controls, 100 mosquitoes of each gender were utilized and placed 2 km away from the test área. The biological assay consisted of insects distributed in cages, 200 mosquitoes in the house and 200 in the surroundings of the houses. The exposition time to the pesticide was of one hour. Soon after, they were taken back to the laboratory and transferred from exposition cages to rest cages, where they were kept under observation for 36 hoúrs.
