[The susceptibility of mosquitoes for Plasmodium gallinaceum in the joint use of biologically active substances].

Making use of a model pair Aedes aegypti--Plasmodium gallinaceum, the authors assess the susceptibility of mosquito female survivors to malaria agent after treatment of larvae with various bioactive substances. Eight binary combinations of 6 preparations have been tried: dimilin and uvemon, insect development regulators; fundosol and copper sulfate, fungicides; phytobacteriomicin (PBM), a larvicidal antibiotic; bactoculicide, a bacterial agent. Combinations of PBM with compounds differing by their mechanisms of action were found to inhibit the specific effect of PBM on the vector, PBM specific effect consisting in depression of mosquito susceptibility to P. gallinaceum. PBM combinations with some agents may alter other parameters of the vector potential: combinations of copper sulfate or uvemon with low concentrations of PBM potentiated the larvicidal effect, and PBM mixtures with fungicides reduces the activity of female attacks.
