Influence of larval and pupal products on the oviposition behavior of Aedes Fluviatilis (Lutz) (Diptera: Culicidae)DOI: 10.1590/S0074-02761988000200011 Keywords: aedes fluviatilis, oviposition behaviour, larvae and pupal products. Abstract: several larval and pupal products of aedes fluviatilis (lutz) were tested for their influence on the oviposition behaviour of females of the same species. significant (alfa = 0,05) atractiveness was shown by: larval water, previously containing 5 to 15 larvae/1,5 ml; larval water, preserved up to 38 days; evaporate and reconstructed larval water extracts up to 2 years after production and water filtered through fresh or dried ground larvae. hexanic larval water extracts and water filtered through fresh or dired ground pupae did not influence oviposition.
