Abstract:
An.Sundaucus collected from Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City are colonized at the insectary of the National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology and found to quickly adapt to the laboratory conditions. Since the F3, larvae have been living in the artificial brackish water with NaCl 1%. In this condition, 88% of larvae developed to pupae and 83.5% to adults. Light time 10 hours per day with 250 - 270 lux was determined to be conducive for development of larvae
