Abstract

Mosquitoes may be controlled by eliminating their breeding places (running water, marshes, swamps and so on) or by spraying these places with biocides (for instance Bacillus thuringiensis toxin) and using fishes (Carassius, Gambusia) that eat larvae. The use of biological agents for mosquito control may be a possible human-caused local effect on amphibian declines. The problem must be addressed through an interdisciplinary approach, based on information exchanges and collaboration between herpetologist and entomologists
