INTRODUCTION: Aedes aegypti is the vector of dengue, yellow fever, Zika and Chikungunya viruses, and Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of St. Louis and West Nile encephalitis viruses.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate infectivity of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora N4 in C. quinquefasciatus and A. aegypti larvae under laboratory conditions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty second-instar larvae of the two mosquito species were exposed each to different doses (0:1, 1:1, 5:1, 15:1, 100:1, 500:1, 750:1 and 1,500:1) of nematode infective juveniles. Four replications per dose were performed.
RESULTS: Parasitism varied between 2.5 and 80 % in C. quinquefasciatus, and between 4.2 and 92.5 % in A. aegypti, with significant differences between doses (p<0.0001). DL50 were: 160.8 infective juveniles per larva for C. quinquefasciatus and 113.6 infective juveniles per larva for A. aegypti. In C. quinquefasciatus, 4 to 6 % of the infective juveniles developed to adults and in A. aegypti, 12- 61 %. In A. aegypti the emergence of new infective juveniles occurred with 100:1, 500:1, 750:1 and 1,500:1 infective juveniles per larva, and in C. quinquefasciatus, with 1,500:1 infective juveniles per larva. Melanization of infective juveniles was observed in both mosquito species.
CONCLUSION: The susceptibility of these mosquito species to parasitism of an indigenous isolate of H. bacteriophora in the laboratory was demonstrated. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora N4 could be an efficient biological control agent.
