【摘要】Objective:To evaluate the larval consumption rate ofDanio rerio (D. rerio) and Oreochromis mossambicus (O. mossambicus) for the control

of

filarial

vector

mosquitoCulex

quinquefasciatus(Cx.

quinquefasciatus). Methods: The fishesD. rerio andO. mossambicus were tested by feeding assay againstCx. quinquefasciatus for 24 h. Results: After 24 h of feeding assay the fishesD. rerio andO. mossambicus exhibited potential reduction rate ofCx. quinquefasciatus larvae. Conclusions:The present research work demonstrates that theD. rerio andO. mossambicus can be used for integrated mosquito management, which is simple and safe to non target organisms. 【总页数】2页(8-9) 【关键词】
