Effect of juvenile hormone analogues on aedes caspius pallas [Diptera: culicidae]

ABSTRACT

Two juvenile hormone analogues, Benzene, l-[[6,10-dimethyl-4,9-undecadienyl] oxy]-2,3,5-trimethyl-, [Z] and 9-Ethoxy-5,9-dimethyl-l-[[3,4-methylenedioxy]] phenoxy-3-decene, were evaluated for the control of Aedes caspius Pallas. These 2 juvenile hormone analogues were tested against early 4th instar larvae and newly formed pupae under constant temperature of 30 °C and 100% R.H. A. caspius Pallas larvae exposed for short as well as for long period to JHAs throughout the 4th instar show high percent mortality whether in presence or absence of food. Pupae showed no adverse effects in response to treatment
