abstract={The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound waves against dengue vector <i>Aedes aegypti. </i>The susceptibility tests were carried out to determine the egg hatchability and mortality rates of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> immatures. The ultrasonic bath device was used to test the effect of ultrasound waves on the dengue vector mosquito. Experiments were conducted at different series of time such as<i> </i>30 S, 60 S, 90 S, 120 S, 150 S, 180 S and 200 S determine the percentage of mortality. The 100% larval mortality was observed in 180 seconds and 100% egg mortality observed in 150 seconds. The highest larval mortality was found in first instar larvae. These results suggest that ultrasound waves have more potential to kill the<i> Aedes aegypti </i>mosquitoes.},
