Mesocyclops aspericornis is a freshwater copepod species in the genus Mesocyclops found in the tropics. It was collected from Sumatra, Singapore and Hawaii.[1]
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.[2] It has also been used in combination with Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis in controlling Aedes aegypti larvae in Thailand.[3]
