ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
The lack of highly-productive Nyssorhynchus darlingi laboratory colonies limits some studies. We report the first well-established laboratory colony of Ny. darlingi in Brazil.METHODS:
Mosquitoes were collected from Porto Velho and were reared at the Laboratory of Fiocruz/RO. After induced mating by light stimulation in the F1 to F6, the subsequent generations were free mating. Larvae were reared in distilled water and fed daily until pupation.RESULTS:
In 11 generations, the colony produced a high number of pupae after the F5 generation.CONCLUSIONS:
These results demonstrate the potential for permanently establishing Ny. darlingi colonies for research purposes in Brazil.
