Abstract

Background: larvae exposed to sublethal doses. Materials and Methods: to each formulation at 0.06 mg/L 33% AI and 0.09 mg/L 50% AI in 5 replicates of artificial habitats. Once all mosquitoes had either emerged or died, a new batch of larvae was introduced every 2 weeks for 6 months. Results: month.
