Larvicidal effect of metarhizium anisopliae conidia against Aedes albopictus

Aedes albopictus is a mosquito species that can be commonly found in Malaysia. Study shows that Ae. albopictus can act as a vector that can potentially transmit dangerous diseases such as dengue and heartworm. Thus, chemical control was made to combat the increase in the population of mosquitoes. Ho...
