ABSTRACT
Biocontrol potential of nepidae bug, Nepa cinerea against immature stages of Anopheles stephensi, Anopheles culicifacies, Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti was studied under laboratory conditions. It was found that N. cinerea had the highest predation against An. stephensi followed by An. culicifacies, Cmx quinquefasciatus and Ae. aegypti. From the analysis, it was found that N. cinerea has good predation efficacy. It can be used as a biological control agent to control of mosquito breeding in integrated disease vector control programme.
