Tadpoles as dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) egg predators

2013-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Mosquito eggs survive drought conditions while harboring pathogens, perpetuating diseases through seasons. Biological control of mosquitoes using vertebrates mostly highlights the role of larvivorous fish. Here we show that tadpoles with different life-history characteristics predate on Aedes aegypti (vector mosquito of dengue virus) eggs. We did four experiments involving tadpoles of Polypedates cruciger to deter...
