Laboratory culture of aedes (finlaya) togoi (theobald), 1907 and measurements of its susceptibility to insecticides
1960
LIEN, J.C.
The literature on Aedes togoi is reviewed. This oriental mosquito occasionally acts as a vector for filarial or virus diseases and is sometimes a nuisance from its bites. Eggs from Taiwan (Formosa) were brought to London in 1958. A laboratory colony was reared from these eggs and maintained by methods similar to those commonly used for Aedes aegypti. Various aspects of the bionomics were studied, including the lengths of stages, mortality during development and the effects of copulation, feeding and salt content of water on oviposition. The levels of susceptibility to DDT, BHC and dieldrin were measured by the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) method and compared with those of colonies of A. aegypti originating in Taiwan and the Pescadores.
