Anopheles aquasalis Curry, a coastal malaria vector with a Neotropical distribution, was
collected from Bele´m, Para´ state, Brazil, and 500 adults per cage were maintained at the Instituto
Evandro Chagasinsectary at 26 Ð30 C and 80 Ð90% RH, where they fed on a 10% domestic sugar solution
and blood from white mice. Oviposition of the parental generation (P) occurred in fresh water in dark
cups introduced into mosquito cages. After eclosion, 100 larvae per pan were reared in artesian well
water (salinity 0.04 g liter1
) and fed ground Þsh food until pupation. After force mating in the F1
generation, the eight subsequent generations were free mating. Mean larval mortality was 1%, and
the mean developmental time from eclosion to emergence was 7.7 d (F1), 7.6 d (F2), 8 d (F3), and
7.5 d (F4). The maximum daily production of pupae (from the fourth generation on) occurred on day
6 postoviposition.
