Efficacy and persistence of long-lasting microbial larvicides against malaria vectors in western Kenya highlands
Abstract Background Chemical-based malaria vector control interventions are threatened by the development of insecticide resistance and changes in the behavior of the vectors, and thus require the development of alternative control methods. Bacterial-based larvicides have the potential to target bot...
