The effects of salt on the development of Aedes togoi and the infecton of Brugia pahangi were studied. Salt concentrations over 7.2% completely got rid of pupae and adults. The salt concentrations 0% to 3.6% reduced pupal development from 86.6% to 72.8% and adult from 70.3% to 53.3%. B. pahangi infestations and infection rates were also reduced in the mosquitoes reared at salt concentrations of 1.8% and 3.6%. Trends of retardation in the filarial development were observed when the salt concentrations were increased.
