Resumo

Influence of temperature on longevity, fecundity, and haematophagic activity of Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus Skuse, 1894 (Diptera, Culicidae) under laboratory condition.Based on adults of Aedes albopictus maintained under four constant temperatures, 15 o C, 20 o C, 25 o C and 30 o C, longevity of males and females, fecundity, eggs viability, number of days from emergence to the first bloodsucking, and duration of the preoviposition period were observed.The average of the longevity for female was 19.45, 59.35, 61.55 and 42.72 days, under 15 o C, 20 o C, 25 o C and 30 o C, respectively.The greatest average number of bloodsucking per female was 8.32, under 25 o C. The average number of eggs per female was 1.00, 73.91, 269.87 and 183.69, and the greatest rates of viable eggs per female was 25 o C and 30 o C. The haematophagic activities and the oviposition were significantly influenced by temperature.
