Mermithid nematodes Romanomermis iyengari were released into 13 natural water bodies of various types at a ratio of 300-8000 invasive preparasites per 1 m2 of water surface in Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. Infected larvae of Anopheles martinius, An. hyrcanus, Culex modestus were found in 6 water bodies with low content of dissolved salts (Ca2+ + + Mg2(+)-3.8-6.7 mg equivalent/l, Cl(-)-38.3-160.2 mg/l). The infection rates of mosquito larvae were 9-67%. In laboratory tests mermithids infected up to 100% of mosquito larvae of the above-mentioned species as well as An. superpictus and Cx. pipiens from natural populations. Aedes caspius were resistant to mermithid infection. It is expected that in Tashkent region these mermithids can be used only in water bodies with low salt content.
在乌兹别克斯坦塔什干地区，将罗曼尼索线虫（Romanomermis iyengari）以每平方米水面300 - 8000条侵袭性前寄生虫的比例释放到13个不同类型的天然水体中。在6个溶解盐含量低（Ca2+ + + Mg2(+) - 3.8 - 6.7毫克当量/升，Cl(-) - 38.3 - 160.2毫克/升）的水体中发现了感染的马丁按蚊（Anopheles martinius）、赫坎按蚊（An. hyrcanus）、淡色库蚊（Culex modestus）幼虫。蚊虫幼虫的感染率为9% - 67%。在实验室测试中，索线虫感染了上述物种以及自然种群中的超级斑按蚊（An. superpictus）和致倦库蚊（Cx. pipiens）高达100%的蚊虫幼虫。里海伊蚊（Aedes caspius）对索线虫感染具有抗性。预计在塔什干地区，这些索线虫仅可用于盐含量低的水体。
