Larvicidal effects of a neem (Azadirachta indica) oil formulation on the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (original) (raw)

Abstract

Background: Larviciding is a key strategy used in many vector control programmes around the world. Costs could be reduced if larvicides could be manufactured locally. The potential of natural products as larvicides against the main African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae s.s was evaluated.
