  abstract = {{T}he effects of 2 growth regulators, diflubenzuron ({DFB}) and {OMS} 2017, on the ability of females #{A}edes aegypti$ to become infected with #{M}olinema dessetae$ was studied under laboratory conditions. {OMS} 2017 and {DFB} had no effect on either the amount of blood ingested or the microfilarial load. {T}he infective potential of females that survived {DFB} treatment was significantly greater than untreated females, but there was no difference between {OMS} 2017 - treated and control females. {T}he percentage of infective larvae in the head after {OMS} 2017 and {DFB} treatments was significantly greater than for control females. {I}nsect growth regulators appear to affect the vectorial competence of mosquitoes, and these results indicate the need for preliminary studies before these compounds are used in large - scale control programs.
