Weekly releases of first-instar Toxorhynchites splendens larvae were made in household water storage containers in a neighborhood in Jakarta, Indonesia, between April 1987 and April 1988. A single larva was placed in each container surveyed. Forty-one percent of all containers in the treatment area were treated each week and the average container was treated once every 2.4 weeks. Aedes aegypti populations were suppressed but not controlled by treatment. It is hypothesized that first-instar Toxorhynchites larvae were poor control agents due to their inability to withstand periods of starvation and to their accidental removal from containers during the act of water consumption.
1987年4月至1988年4月期间，在印度尼西亚雅加达的一个社区，每周都会在家庭储水容器中投放初孵的华丽巨蚊幼虫。在所调查的每个容器中放置一只幼虫。处理区域内41%的容器每周都会进行处理，平均每个容器每2.4周处理一次。埃及伊蚊种群数量因处理措施受到抑制，但未得到控制。据推测，初孵的华丽巨蚊幼虫是效果不佳的控制媒介，原因在于它们无法耐受饥饿期，以及在取水过程中意外地从容器中被移除。
