basins can readily be inoculated with reared planaria or more simply by transferring
floats with planaria to new catch basins.
Research on the abatement of Culex spp. in catch basins is required to enable intelligent
control measures to be implemented if Culex-transmitted SLE virus reappears in
Ontario. A study of the ability of predaceous planaria to survive year round in catch
basins is under way. A search for Merostoma species should be conducted in Ontario.
If planaria fail, the next most promising control in catch basins appears to be a
means of slow release of B.t.;' or methoprene.
This research was assisted by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment through the
Ontario Pesticide Advisory Committee.
