Control of Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae), the vector of lymphatic filariasis, using irradiated and non-irradiated entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema scapterisci (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae)

Abstract The goal of this work was to investigate the effect of gamma irradiated entomopathogenic nematode EPN; Steinernema scapterisci on third and fourth larval instars of Culex pipiens under laboratory conditions and its effect on the elemental composition of the treated larvae. Results showed th...
