Abstract

A number of chemical sterilants as well as some antibiotic compounds were evaluated in the laboratory and field for reproduction control in the eye gnat Hippelates collusor (Townsend) and the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus Say. Reproduction control here denotes the suppression of fecundity. It is achieved either through the reduction in the number of ova produced or a decrease in their viability, or both. The materials were made available to the adult eye gnat as sugar baits, water solutions, deposits on glass surfaces, and also as pupal dips. The chemosterilants were offered as sugar solutions on cotton pads, to the adult mosquitoes. Against larval and pupal stages the chemosterilants were tested as water solutions or suspensions.
