食蚊罗索虫(Romanomermis culicivorax Ross and Smith,1976)是一种专性寄生于蚊幼虫体内的索科线虫。自本世纪60年代在美国路易斯安那等地发现该线虫以来,经过大量的实验室和现场研究,证明是一种颇有前途的生物防制剂。1984年被世界卫生组织列为近期开发对象之一。但迄今为止,食蚊罗索虫的培养还只能采用体内培养的方法,即用寄生前期幼虫实验室感染蚊宿主幼虫,获得寄生后期幼虫。这种方法虽然不算复杂,但必需饲养蚊虫,需要 The Roman mosquito (Romanomermis culicivorax Ross and Smith, 1976) is an obligate Scoophorus parasitized in mosquito larvae. Since its discovery in the 1960s in Louisiana and elsewhere in the United States, it has proven to be a promising bio-control agent after extensive laboratory and field studies. In 1984 by the World Health Organization as one of the recent development targets. So far, however, the cultivation of mosquitoes can only use the method of in vivo culture, that is, the parasitic larvae are infected with the larvae of the mosquito larvae in the laboratory to obtain parasitic larvae. Although this method is not complicated, but need to keep mosquitoes need
