Possibility of using Romanomermis culicivorax for mosquito control in the town of Voronezh and Moscow Province has been assessed. The infection rate of mosquito larvae didn't exceed 26% when preparasitic juveniles were released into water bodies at a ratio of 1-3 thousand per 1 m2 and temperature 18-25 degrees C. There were no evidences of mermithid settlement and hibernation in the water bodies of Voronezh. High efficacy of using R. culicivorax in mosquito larvae control can only be expected in these regions under hot summer conditions.
已评估在沃罗涅日市和莫斯科州使用食蚊罗索线虫控制蚊子的可能性。当以每1平方米1000 - 3000条的比例将寄生前幼虫放入水体且温度为18 - 25摄氏度时，蚊子幼虫的感染率不超过26%。在沃罗涅日的水体中没有食蚊罗索线虫定居和越冬的迹象。只有在炎热的夏季条件下，才有望在这些地区使用食蚊罗索线虫高效控制蚊子幼虫。
