Biological control of Aedes mosquito larvae with carnivorous aquatic plant, Utricularia macrorhiza
Abstract Background Biological controls with predators of larval mosquito vectors have historically focused almost exclusively on insectivorous animals, with few studies examining predatory plants as potential larvacidal agents. In this study, we experimentally evaluate a generalist plant predator o...
