Abstract
A study was conducted to identify the responses of Aedes albopictus to different diet regime towards the development of juvenile and adult mosquitoes. Fish pellet was selected as standard diet in order to study the effect of diet regime on the development of Ae. Albopictus. Four different diet regimes (1.0 mg 0.6 mg 1.0 mg an1.6 mg) were tested on 50 eggs of Ae. albopictus under laboratory conditions. Juvenile development until adult emergence was observed and recorded. Results indicated that the time taken to mature the mosquitoes was significantly affected by the diet regime. Furthermore juvenile body size and adult wing size of Ae. albopictus were found to be greatly affected by diet regime exposed during juvenile stages. In summary an increase of diet regime resulted in the decrease of developmental time and an increase in juvenile body size and adult wing size.
