Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of predation of three aquatic heteropteran bugs on Culex quinquefasciatus larvae
TL;DR: The difference in predatory efficiency, CR, and PI values varied significantly among the three predators, indicating the possible difference in the function as predators occupying the same guild.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predation potential of odonates on mosquito larvae: Implications for biological control
Nabaneeta Saha,Nabaneeta Saha,Gautam Aditya,Gautam Aditya,Soumyajit Banerjee,Goutam Kumar Saha +5 more
TL;DR: Predation potential of the larval odonates Ceriagrion coromandelianum and Brachydiplax chalybea chaly bea on the II and IV instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus was evaluated under simulated natural conditions in the laboratory and revealed that prey consumption varied significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Household disposables as breeding habitats of dengue vectors: linking wastes and public health.
TL;DR: A link between the wastes disposed and subsequent conversion to the mosquito larval habitats cautions for continuance of Aedes population and possibility of dengue epidemics if the existing management practices are not improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opportunistic foraging by heteropteran mosquito predators
TL;DR: Anisops and D. rusticus are potentially good biocontrol agents for mosquito larvae, in that they preferentially consume mosquitoes under many circumstances but can readily forage on other prey when mosquito density is low.
Journal Article
Predatory activity of Rhantus sikkimensis and larvae of Toxorhynchites splendens on mosquito larvae in Darjeeling, India.
TL;DR: It can be assumed that these predators play an important role in larval population regulation of mosquitoes and thereby impart an effect on species composition and interactions in the aquatic insect communities of Darjeeling Hills, India.
