Abstract

Two studies were conducted to determine the effect of diet regime on development of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) with reference to different water container types. In the first study, different diet regime (0.1 mg, 0.6 mg, 1.0 mg and 1.6 mg of fish pellet) were exposed to 50 eggs of Ae. albopictus with 300 ml of distilled water in plastic container under laboratory conditions. In second study, the effect of diet regime (0.1 mg, 0.6 mg, 1.0 mg and 1.6 mg of fish pellet) and different types of water container (coconut shell, plastic container and glass container) of Ae. albopictus was observed. Development of the Ae. albopictus was observed and recorded from egg hatching until adult emergence. Results in first study showed that,
development time was significantly effect by diet regime. Furthermore, juvenile body size and adult wing size of Ae. albopictus was found to be greatly affected by diet regime expose during juvenile stages. Generally, increase of diet regime resulted in decrease of development time and increase in juvenile body size and adult wing size. However, results in second study show that development of Ae. albopictus was not affected by different diet regime and types of container. As overall, different diet regime was affected development of Ae. albopictus. While, different types of water container did not affected the development of Ae. albopictus. The outcome of this study was important as base line information for better understanding on population dynamic of mosquito. The input also critical for biological control of the dengue fever especially in endemic area
