Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates using parasites as a natural alternative to chemical insecticides for controlling mosquito larvae at various developmental stages.
- - Laboratory experiments showed that the third and fourth larval instars of certain mosquito species experienced significant infections leading to reduced movement and higher mortality rates.
- - The results suggest that these parasites could drastically lower adult mosquito emergence, indicating their potential use in mosquito biocontrol efforts.
