Description

In order to maintain securely many laboratory strains of mosquitoes, a simple mosquito rearing cage "Connection cage, " in which all the required manipulations could be carried out without ever opening the cage, was designed. The connection cage (25×31×28cm) consists of 3 main parts, the upper cage for rearing of adults, the lower vessel for rearing of larvae and the connection frame connecting the upper cage and the lower vessel. In our laboratory, the cage has been successfully used for over a year in maintaining colonies of Aedes albopictus (Skuse), Aedes flavopictus Yamada, Aedes riversi Bohart and Ingram, Aedes togoi (Theobald), Aedes aureostriatus okinawanus Bohart, Culex pipiens fatigans Wiedemann, Culex infantulus Edwards and Tripteroides bambusa (Yamada).
