Abstract
The black salt marsh mosquito, Aedes taeniorhynchus, is the primary nuisance mosquito in the coastal regions of Florida. This study aimed to establish the baseline susceptibility of Ae. taeniorhynchus to adulticide products used for mosquito control by the Collier Mosquito Control District (CMCD). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bottle bioassay was used to test technical-grade and formulated products, and Merus 3.0® was evaluated in semifield cage trials through aerial applications. The results revealed the baseline susceptibility of Ae. taeniorhynchus to the tested materials and the effectiveness of Merus 3.0 to effectively control the Ae. taeniorhynchus. The study provides important information for the development of an integrated mosquito management strategy for controlling Ae. taeniorhynchus mosquito populations in southwest Florida.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission
of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of
mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. The Journal encourages submission of a wide range of
scientific studies that include all aspects of biology, ecology, systematics, and integrated pest
management. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e. g., monographs) may be accepted for
publication as a supplement to the regular issue.
