EFFECTS OF MOIST AND DRY CONDITIONING ON VIABILITY AND HATCH OF AEDES TOGOI EGGS
Abstract
Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of moist and dry conditioning on the viability and hatch of eggs of the mosquito Aedes togoi Theobald. Maximal hatch was associated with joint contribution of moist and dry conditioning. Optimal combinations for hatch were 4 days moist and 10 to 14 days dry, 5 days moist and 10 to 14 days dry, and 6 days moist and 15 to 19 days dry. Viability decreased as the time of moist conditioning increased, but no significant differences in viability were attributed to dry conditioning.
