Mosquitoes of the genus Mansonia are aggressive and potential vectors of diseases. Immature forms extract oxygen from aquatic macrophytes, common in lentic ecosystems such as dams and lakes. This biological characteristic makes its maintenance in the laboratory challenging. The present study aimed to evaluate the oviposition preference of Mansonia in different species of macrophytes, and in polystyrene sheets. Four species were studied; Mansonia humeralis, Ma. amazonensis, Ma. titillans and Ma. indubitans. The specimens were obtained in the community of São Domingo, located in Porto Velho, Rondônia.Para acceder a la videoconferencia completa, hacer clic en "Enlace externo".Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ecología de Vectores
