Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae powder as a larval diet ingredient for mass-rearing Aedes mosquitoes

Abstract: The mass production of mosquitoes is becoming more wide-spread due to the increased application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) and other genetic control programmes. Due to the variable availability and high cost of the bovine liver powder (BLP) constituent of many current larval diets, there is an urgent demand for new ingredients in order to support sustainable and efficient mosquito production while reducing rearing cost, without affecting the quality of the insects produced. Two black soldier fly (BS… Show more

“…Puggioli et al [38] have demonstrated that diet concentration significantly affected the survival time to pupation. Studies on the optimization of larval feeding using new ingredients such as black soldier fly larvae powder in replacement of costly bovine liver powder [8,32] will need to be explored further.…”

“…Hence, the lack of a perfect/efficient sex sorting method is one of the major bottlenecks that delays the largescale application of this technique [27]. Significant technological and methodological advances have been made at the Insect Pest Control Laboratory (IPCL) of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture in all of the SIT components, including the development of adult mosquito cages [3,28,30,31], egg quantification method or techniques [29,50], suitable and cheaper diets for larval feeding [8,32], handling and quality control devices [11,12], mass-rearing and irradiation procedures, and guidelines [16,47]. For the immature stages, trays and racks were developed for rearing of large numbers of larvae [2,4,49].…”

“…For each species, eggs were hatched in glass jars overnight following standard procedures developed at the IPCL [ 28 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. After hatching, batches of 200 first-instar larvae were manually counted and haphazardly allocated to the different water media prepared.…”
