“…The specimens raised in the intra where the temperature was higher than the peri places resulted in a shorter period of development of the larvae. These results agree with other studies 2,3,5,10,26 , in which the temperature was inversely proportional to the period of development.…”

Aedes aegypti is an important vector in Brazil being the main vector of the dengue-fever. This paper employs survival curves to describe the time in days from larvae to adult forms of Aedes aegypti raised, individually and collectively, and compares it during winter and spring when positioned inside and outside a laboratory. The study was conducted in São Vicente, a coastal city in Southeastern Brazil. The lowest water temperature in winter and in spring was 20 °C and the highest was 26 °C in spring. Higher and more stable temperatures were measured in the intra compared to the peri in both seasons. Consequently, larvae positioned in the intra resulted in the lowest median time to develop in the individual and collective experiment (nine and ten days, respectively). At least 25% of the larvae positioned in the intra in the individual experiment in the spring took only seven days to reach adulthood. Sex ratios and the median time development by sex did not show significant differences. These results indicate that efforts to control Aedes aegypti must be continuous and directed mainly to prevent the intra-domiciliary sites that can be infested in a week in order to reduce the human-vector contact.

“…A maioria dos estudos que aborda o ciclo de vida de Aedes aegypti foi realizado avaliando-se populações isoladas e poucas contribuições mencionam comparações entre ciclos de populações de diferentes regiões geográficas. O ciclo de vida do A. aegypti apresenta padrões de crescimento, fecundidade e longevidade inerentes a cada população, que são influenciados por fatores intrínsecos à espécie e por fatores ambientais, próprios de cada região de origem do vetor (Beserra et al, 2006;Beserra & Castro Jr., 2008;Beserra et al, 2009a,b).…”

“…Os adultos foram alimentados com solução de mel a 20% e às fêmeas permitido o repasto sanguíneo em codornas (Coturnix japonica) durante 15 minutos, três vezes por semana. Após o repasto, os ovos foram coletados em um funil plástico revestido por um papel filtro dentro de um copo com água, que serviu de substrato para a oviposição (Beserra & Castro Jr., 2008;Beserra et al, 2009a,b).…”

ABSTRACT. Life cycles compared to Aedes aegypti (Diptera, Culicidae) in the semi-arid region of Paraíba. The present work aims at comparing the life cycle between samples from different populations of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) collected in ten municipalities in the semi-arid region of state of Paraíba, Brazil. The life cycles were studied under 26 ± 2°C, a relative humidity of 60 ± 10% and a 12 h photophase. The development period, egg viability, and larval and pupal survival, were evaluated daily, as well as the sex ratio, longevity, size, and fecundity of adults. We performed a cluster analysis, using a Euclidean distance matrix by the method of unweighted mean. The duration and viability for the egg, larval and pupal stages had, respectively, an average change of 3.7 to 4.7 days and 82.8% to 97.7%, from 9.1 to 10.8 days and 91.2% to 99.2%, and 2.1 to 2.5 days and 93.5% to 98.4%. The wing length ranged from 5.13 to 5.34 mm for females and from 4.18 to 4.25 mm for males. The population of A. aegypti originated from Pedra Lavrada registered the lowest fecundity (153.6 eggs/female), while the highest fecundity (310.6 eggs/female) was observed in Campina Grande. Cluster analysis based on the similarity of biological data revealed the formation of two major distinct groups, where populations of A. aegypti from Serra Branca and Cuité show greater similarity to each other. Differences in biological cycles were observed among populations of A. aegypti, demonstrating the ability of this species to vary in its biology and adapt to different environmental conditions. This may increase the number of A. aegypti that stay in these areas, thus increasing the risk of the dengue virus.

“…para A. aegypti por Beserra et al (2006) e Beserra & Castro Jr (2008). Como o tamanho das fêmeas foi muito próximo nos dois bioensaios, fatores outros, como a quantidade de sangue ingerido e status de acasalamento podem ter contribuído para a baixa fecundidade no bioensaio 1, como verifi cado para Aedes albopictus Skuse (Blackmore & Lord 2000).…”

-We focused on the evaluation of the infl uence that the larval density have on the life cycle, size and fecundity of Aedes aegypti (L.). The bioassays were conducted at 26 ± 2ºC and at 12h light. Five larval densities (200, 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 larvae/l) and two feeding systems (one with a fi xed amount of 100 mg of food, and other with an amount of food proportional to the number of larvae/ tray) were tested. Egg and larval development time and survivorship, sex ratio, longevity, fecundity and the size of adults were evaluated on a daily basis. The life cycle of A. aegypti was signifi cantly affected by the density when offered 100 mg of food per tray. The period of larval development increased from 8.3 to 37.9 days whereas female fecundity and wing length decreased from 105.7 to 41.8 eggs/ female and from 4.6 mm to 3.6 mm, respectively, by changing from a density of 200 to 1250 larvae/l. Signifi cant differences of these variables were not detected when offering 1.9 mg of food per larvae, except for the size of the adults. Females emerged from rearing densities of 1250 larvae/l grew larger, with an average wing length of 5.2 mm.
