Breeding method of Aedes albopictus egg-laying female mosquito

Abstract

The invention relates to a breeding method of oviposition female mosquitoes of aedes albopictus. The method comprises the emergence steps that mosquito pupae of the aedes albopictus are put into adult mosquito breeding cages and emerge to adult mosquitoes, wherein the number ratio of female pupae to male pupae of the aedes albopictus put in each adult mosquito breeding cage is (1-5):1. By adopting the breeding method, higher oviposition rate can be achieved, the quality of obtained mosquito eggs is high , the larva hatching rate is high (especially when the female-male ratio is 3:1, the oviposition quantity of female mosquitoes is highest), the oviposition efficiency of the aedes albopictus is greatly improved, the breeding method can be used as a standard breeding method of the oviposition female mosquitoes, provides powerful ensurance for large-scale production of the aedes albopictus in laboratories and factories and solves the problems that donor eggs are not enough in the release production process of the male mosquitoes of the aedes albopictus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of insect feeding, in particular to a feeding method for egg-laying female mosquitoes of Aedes albopictus. Background technique [0002] Breeding insects artificially is one of the basic techniques for studying entomology. It can be used to breed certain types of insects without seasonal restrictions for research on insect biology, physiology, and formulation of integrated pest control measures. Aedes albopictus is the main carrier of dengue virus in mainland China, with a wide latitude distribution. At present, the best way to control the dengue fever epidemic is to control the density of Aedes albopictus, in which the release of male mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia symbiotic bacteria is a biological control method, which can greatly reduce the population density of Aedes albopictus in the wild; therefore It is an urgent need to provide a method for artificial large-scale breeding of Aedes albopictus; first ...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the best way to control the dengue fever epidemic is to control the density of Aedes albopictus, in which the release of male mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia symbiotic bacteria is a biological control method, which can greatly reduce the population density of Aedes albopictus in the wild; therefore It is an urgent need to provide a method for artificial large-scale breeding of Aedes albopictus; first of all, it is necessary to establish a standard breeding method for egg-laying female mosquitoes, and there are few relevant research reports on mosquito egg-laying and feeding methods at home and abroad

According to the feeding methods of other insects, it is difficult to improve the feeding efficiency, oviposition rate and egg quality of Aedes albopictus female mosquitoes, which will lead to the problem of insufficient egg supply during the production process of Aedes albopictus male mosquitoes. Unable to scale up the SIT to control Aedes albopictus
