Assessment of ammonium-based solutions (ABS) AS Aedes aegypti OVIPOSITION ATTRACTANT

Aedes aegypti exhibit a higher preference for ovipositing their eggs in water that possess with dissolved mineral and nutrient for the survival of their progeny. These solutions usually contain ammonia which was formed due to decomposing process of decaying organic matter in the water. Therefore, th...
