Mesocyclops aspericornis

Mesocyclops aspericornis is a freshwater copepod species in the genus "Mesocyclops" found in the tropics. It was collected from Sumatra, Singapore and Hawaii.
Together with the mosquito species "Toxorhynchites speciosus", "M. aspericornis" forms a compatible predator pair for reduction of larval "Aedes notoscriptus" and "Culex quinquefasciatus" populations in tire habitats in Queensland. It has also been used in combination with "Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis" in controlling "Aedes aegypti" larvae in Thailand.
