Abstract

Pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone mimic was used in field and laboratory studies. In field study, concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 and 10 ppm were tested in water containers to determine the minimum effective concentration and evaluate length of effective period. The concentration of pyriproxyfen between 1.0 to 10 ppm showed emergence inhibition of Ae. albopictus for more than 2 months. In laboratory experiments, no significant difference in reproduction was found between control and adults emerging from larvae treated with sublethal concentration of pyriproxyfen at 1X10-6 ppm. A difference in sensitivity between sex were found when larvae  were treated with pyriproxyfen at 1X10-4 ppm.
