Larvivorous Potential of Different Stages of Culex tigripes (Diptera, Culicidae) in the Prospective of its Use in Biological Control of Malaria Vectors
Carried out in the laboratory, the present study tends to assess the larvivorous potential of different stages of Culex tigripes against malaria vectors. The four stages of C. tigripes have effectively a larvivorous activity and may be used in the biological control of mosquito larvae, vector of mal...

| description |
Carried out in the laboratory, the present study tends to assess the larvivorous potential of different stages of Culex tigripes against malaria vectors. The four stages of C. tigripes have effectively a larvivorous activity and may be used in the biological control of mosquito larvae, vector of malaria. Neither lower or higher larval density, large or small size of larvae nor any position pattern of prey larvae from the water surface do inhibit the larvivorous behaviour of C. tigripes. |
