Abstract

Culex quinquefasciatus Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi responsible for deadly diseases to human beings and animals. Carassius auratus and Poecilia reticulata were used to evaluate for predatory efficiency against diseases causing mosquito larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi and remarkable larval consumption rate was observed that C. auratus feed all 50 larvae within 6 hours and P. reticulata feed all 50 at the end of 21st hours. Therefore, we suggest C. auratus and P. reticulata can be effectively used against mosquitoes for integrated vector control management programme.
