The efficacy of Toxorhynchites amboinensis larvae for control of dengue vectors in household water storage containers was tested in a rural village in Central Java, Indonesia. Concrete cisterns and clay jars were the most common types of containers used for long-term water storage, although smaller numbers of metal drums were also used. All containers in use in the village received 5-10 second- or third-instar Tx. amboinensis larvae biweekly for 7 months. Vector surveillance (adult and larval) was conducted biweekly between treatments. No differences in man-biting rates or larval population indices were noted between the treatment and control areas. It is hypothesized that the multiplicity of larval habitats in this rural area accounted for the lack of impact of predator releases, which were directed solely toward artificial containers.
在印度尼西亚中爪哇省的一个乡村，对巨蚊幼虫控制家庭储水容器中登革热媒介的效果进行了测试。混凝土蓄水池和陶罐是最常用的长期储水容器类型，不过也有少量金属桶被使用。村里所有在用的容器每两周投放5 - 10只二龄或三龄的安汶巨蚊幼虫，持续7个月。在各次处理之间每两周进行一次媒介监测（成蚊和幼虫）。在处理区和对照区之间，未观察到叮人率或幼虫种群指数有差异。据推测，该农村地区幼虫栖息地的多样性导致仅针对人工容器释放捕食者未产生影响。
