Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<i style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;">C. carpio</span></i><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;"> is good bio-control agent of mosquitoes. Therefore, consumption rate of C. carpio at the age of 60 day, 90 day and 120 day against IV instar larvae of <i>Ae. albopictus, An. subpictus</i>and <i>Cx. pipiensfatigans. </i>Consumption rate of <i>C. carpio</i>against<i>Ae.albopctus</i>was higher than <i>An. subpictus</i>and <i>Cx. pipiensfatigans</i>under laboratory condition (27 &plusmn; 1⁰C, 70-75% R.H. and 24 hr photoperiod).</span>< /> <b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;&#10;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">< clear="all" style="page-eak-before:always;mso-eak-type:section-eak" /> </span></b></p>
