“…Os produtos à base de plantas, além de terem comprovada ação inseticida, apresentam uma grande variedade de compostos ativos, os quais podem agir sinergicamente. Além disso, podem funcionar como atraentes, desalojantes ou repelentes dos insetos, podendo ser empregados em sistemas de manejo integrado de pragas, como alternativas de controle ou monitoramento das populações de insetos (Navarro- Silva et al, 2009). O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a toxicidade dos extratos aquosos de algumas espécies vegetais, visando verificar a sua eficiência no controle das larvas de C. capitata.…”

“…Oviposition behavior is an important target for the control of hematophagous insects because (a) it involves females, the only stage that transmits disease agents in most species, (b) it involves blood‐fed females, which are epidemiologically the most important cohort of the adult female population, and (c) the eggs that are oviposited represent the greatest potential amplification of its population. Although much work on the chemical ecology of oviposition has been done with mosquitoes (Takken and Knols 1999, Bentley and Day 1989, Pates and Curtis 2005, Logan and Birkett 2007, Navarro‐Silva et al 2009, Pickett et al 2010), very little is known on this topic concerning sand flies (Feliciangeli 2004). Gravid sand flies do not lay their eggs indiscriminately but use a range of semiochemical cues indicating an oviposition site with conditions suitable for the larvae (Killick‐Kendrick 1999).…”

Oviposition behavior is a fairly neglected aspect in our understanding of the biology of sand flies. In this study, we used a comparative approach using both new-and old-world species (Lutzomyia longipalpis and Phlebotomus papatasi) in choice and no-choice oviposition chambers to evaluate the effect of old sand fly colony remains (frass), conspecific eggs, and their combination on oviposition rates of these sand flies. We also tested the effect of egg washing with de-ionized water on oviposition rates. In both choice and no-choice experiments, sand fly species laid more eggs on a substrate containing frass. The effect of eggs alone was not significant but showed a positive trend. Furthermore, for both sand fly species, the effect of the combined treatment was sub-additive suggesting a potential inhibitory effect of one factor on the other. Egg washing did not have a significant effect. The choice and no-choice experimental designs did not differ in their outcomes suggesting the choice-design could serve as an effective high throughput method for screening oviposition attractants/stimulants.

“…The behavior of Ae. aegypti females in selecting suitable oviposition sites depends on the presence of a water source 15,23 . Based on this premise, building devices to capture this species can be highly effective provided they are designed with the objective of providing the mosquito with suitable oviposition substrates.…”

“…Culicidae females will oviposit in a wide variety of containers -cans, tires, caps, bottle and other types of containers 15 -results confirmed by the trap models assessed in this study. Aedes aegypti females look for places where their eggs can survive due to the presence of semiochemicals in the water and not because of the shape of the container 23 . Therefore, the volumetric shape of traps can focus on aesthetic requirements (unit, harmony, finishes), functionality (storage and transport), usability (monitoring and cleaning) and production costs (production processes and materials).…”

Introduction: Understanding Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L) behavior will provide insight into the design of entomological surveillance devices. Objective: Design and build a trap for surveillance Aedes aegypti. Methodology: We examined egg-laying preference and the ability to capture adult Ae. aegypti using containers that differed in shape, color and internal retention systems. The characteristics most effective in capturing adult mosquitoes were used to develop a prototype efficient in trapping mosquitoes. The shape of the prototype was determined by examining oviposition preference of containers having circular, square and triangular bases. Color discrimination was assessed by covering the bodies of the containers in green (523 nm), red (621 nm), white and gray (the chromatic scale from black to white). The propensity of Ae. aegypti to enter the containers was assessed by incorporating an entrance to the container in the shape of an inverted truncated oblique pyramid with base, middle and apex dimensions of 6.5-4 cm, 5-2.5 cm and 4.5-1.5 cm, respectively. All variables as the number of egg and adults captured in treatments were subjected to variance analysis; only data with P < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Our results indicate that neither shape nor entrance dimension attract ovipositing Ae. The final design of the trap resembled a truncated pyramid with a red square base, a black oblique entrance of 5 x 2.5 cm and an internal retention system. The final prototype had a capture rate of 90.5 ± 5% under laboratory conditions.
