The climatic and housing conditions which favour the breeding of Culex pipiens fatigans in Ceylon, and its life-cycle and resting-habits, are described. The results of the treatment of breeding-places (mainly catch-pits) and the interior of houses with various insecticides of specific action on larvae or adults, in different preparations and concentrations, are given, and suggestions are made for the control of the mosquito on this island. The fundamental measure for successful control is efficient sanitation, but until this can be achieved, application of larvicides seems to be the method of choice.
描述了在锡兰有利于致倦库蚊繁殖的气候和住房条件,以及它的生命周期和栖息习性。给出了用不同制剂和浓度的、对幼虫或成虫有特效的各种杀虫剂处理滋生地(主要是集水井)和房屋内部的结果,并就该岛蚊子的控制提出了建议。成功控制的基本措施是有效的环境卫生,但在实现这一点之前,施用杀幼虫剂似乎是首选方法。
