Activity of a lipid synthesis inhibitor (spiromesifen) in Culiseta longiareolata (Diptera: Culicidae)
Objective: To evaluate the activity of spiromesifen against the most abundant and investigated mosquito species, Culiseta longiareolata Aitken, 1954 (Diptera, Culicidae). Methods: Culiseta longiareolata larvae were collected from untreated areas located at Tébessa (Northeast Algeria). A commercial...

Methods: Culiseta longiareolata larvae were collected from untreated areas located at Tébessa (Northeast Algeria).
