Avaliação da ação residual do larvicida temephós sobre o aedes aegypti (Diptera, Culicidae) em diferentes tipos de recipientes

Resumo

The action of the larvicide Temephos over the Aedes aegypti was evaluated by means of a test using two concentrations of the product: l ppm (400 mg/ml) and 2 ppm (800 mg/ml). They were distributed in 6 different containers: a tire, a clay vase, an aluminum bowl, a glass aquarium, a plastic bowl and an asbestos tank, ali bearing a volume of 4 liters. Each recipien received 20 larvae of 3rd stage, which were evaluated 24 hours after exposure to the product and shortly after being removed from the solution. The same solution was preserved for 14 weeks and the larvae examined every 7 days. The pesticide's residual action was evaluated by the larvae mortality. Ali the recipients had a 100% efficacy throughout the testing period, in both concentrations. At the 400 mg/ml larvicide Temephos concentration in the "tire" recipient, the mortality rate decreased by 45% after the 5 week. Similarly, at the 800 mg/ml concentration in the same recipient, the mortality rate decreased by 40% after the 7lh week and by the end of the trial, no mortality was noted.
