Indoor and outdoor development of aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) in different types of water holding container / Mohd Fadzil Awang
Aedes species now are rapidly adapting to environmental changes which subsequently change the water container preferences for breeding. In the present study, the rate of development of immatures of Aedes albopictus are evaluated based on the effect of type of water holding containers and the tempera...
