Title
The effects of common salt on Aedes togoi and filarial infection
The effects of salt on the development of Aedes togoi and the infection of Brugia pahangi were studied. Salt concentrations over 8.2% completely got rid of pupae and adults. The salt concentrations 0% to 3.6% reduced pupal development from 86.6% to 72.8% and adult from 70.3% to 53.3%. B. pahangi infections and infestation rates were also reduced in the mosquitoes reared at salt concentrations of 1.8% and 3.6%. Trends of retardation in the filarial development were observed when the salt concentrations were increased.
