Mosquito vectors developing in atypical anthropogenic habitats: Global overview of recent observations, mechanisms and impact on disease transmission

Ramasamy, R.; Surendran, S.N. (J Vector Borne, 2016)

The major mosquito vectors of human diseases have co-evolved with humans over a long period of time. However, the rapid growth in human population and the associated expansion in agricultural activity and greater ...
A note on the larvicidal efficacy of saponin constituted crude extracts of plant and animal origin against Aedes aegypti l.
