Fig. : Cyclopoid with and without eggs in cultivated KBC-North Maharashtra University Jalgaon, Dr. Satish V Patil Laboratory ( Fold scope Team : Dr. Satish, Mr. Chandrakant Narkhede, Dr. Jamat Rajput, Mr. Sunil & Dr. Bhavana Mohite, KBC-NMU, Jalgaon Maharahtra, India) The Cyclopoida are small crustaceans from the subclass Copepoda. Similar copepods, members of Cyclopoida are small, planktonic animals living in the freshwater and sea habitats. They are characterized by their rapid movement. Their larval development is metamorphic, and their embryos are in paired or single sacs attached to first abdominal somite. Recently those are attracted as Effective Green solution for Mosquito vector control. They are selectively feed on Aedes aegypti larvae.
