Controle de Larvas de Aedes aegypti por Ninfas de libélula (Odonata) sob Condições Laboratoriais
View through CrossRef
Estudos para o combate ao vetor Aedes aegypti são importantes para reduzir as incidências da Dengue, Zika e Chikungunya, responsáveis por milhares de mortes no Mundo. Este estudo hipotetiza que as ninfas de odonata influenciam no controle de larvas de Aedes aegypti com eficácia diferente entre as famílias, por terem distinta morfologia de aparelho mastigador e comportamento. O objetivo com esta pesquisa foi avaliar a eficiência de sete famílias de odonata como predadoras de Aedes aegypti, em condições laboratoriais. Ninfas foram coletadas com armadilha de rede, no Rio Poxim Açu e individualizadas, em potes plásticos, com 20 cm de diâmetro, contendo água do rio e mantidas em temperatura ambiente. Para verificar a potencialidade de predação de larva de Aedes aegypti, pelas ninfas de Odonata, tendo sido avaliada a taxa de predação de 30 larvas de mosquito, em cada pote por dia, contabilizando-se o número de larvas predadas. A média de predação pelas ninfas foi de 6,08 larvas de mosquito por dia. As famílias Aeshnidae (9,28), Libellulidae (8,37) obtiveram as maiores médias de predação por dia. Todas as famílias de odonata predaram, em pelo menos um dia, o máximo de 25 a 30 larvas, exceto Cordulidae. Portanto, os predadores da família Aeshnidae e Libellulidae foram muito eficazes no controle do Aedes aegypti e representam uma alternativa de baixo custo e de fácil aplicabilidade em cisternas e caixas de água domiciliares, que têm condições semelhantes às encontradas neste experimento.

Abstract
Studies of Aedes aegypti control are especially important for reducing the incidence of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya cases that are responsible for thousands of human deaths in the world. This study hypothesizes that odonata nymphs influence the Aedes aegypti larvae control with different efficacy among their families, due to their chewing apparatus morphology and to their diverse behavior in nature. The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of seven families of odonata nymphs as predators of the Aedes aegypti larvae under laboratory conditions. Odonata nymphs of seven families were collected with a net trap at Poxim Açu River. Each nymph was placed in a 20-cm diameter plastic recipient containing river water at room temperature. In order to verify the odonata nymphs predation on the Aedes aegypti larvae, the predation rate of 30 mosquito larvae was verified on each recipient per day. The odonata nymphs presented an average predation rate of 6.08 mosquito larvae per day. The families Aeshnidae (9,28) and Libellulidae (8,37) obtained the greatest average predation rate per day. All the Odonata families predated from 25 to 30 larvae in at least one day, except Cordulidae. Therefore, the Ashinadae and libelulidae predators were highly effective on the Aedes aegypti control. Thus, they represent a low-cost alternative for Aedes control in cisterns and water tanks at home sites, which have similar conditions to the ones found in this experiment.
