Predation ability Toxorhynchites splendens larvae from Banjarbaru

Abstract The population of Toxorhynchites splendens in the rural area of the administrative city of Banjarbaru is quite abundant. This can be developed as part of the control management of Aedes sp. and Culex sp. as disease vectors. The purpose of this study was to test the predation ability of Tx....

Summary:Abstract The population of Toxorhynchites splendens in the rural area of the administrative city of Banjarbaru is quite abundant. This can be developed as part of the control management of Aedes sp. and Culex sp. as disease vectors. The purpose of this study was to test the predation ability of Tx. splendens against larvae of Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus and larval development time of Tx. splendens fed with larvae of Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus . The study used a completely randomized design with 10 replications. The results obtained were the predation ability of Tx. splendens larvae from instar 2 to pupae against larvae of Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus were 5.5 larvae/day and 6 larvae/day, respectively. The average length of the developmental phase of Tx. splendens larvae fed with Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus was 14.55 days and 12 days. The conclusion of this research is Tx. splendens originating from the city of Banjarbaru has the power of predation against Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus .
