Spray Application Of Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis (Bti Strain Am65-52) Against Aedes Aegypti (L.) And Ae. Albopictus Skuse Populations And Impact On Dengue Transmission In A Dengue Endemic Residential Site In Malaysia

A one year study was conducted to evaluate the impact of spray application of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), strain AM65-52 on vector populations and dengue transmission in a dengue endemic state in Malaysia. Residential sites with similar populations of Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albop...
