DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.105097
Abstract: An appropriate management strategy of bluetongue vectors should include larvicidal treatments in their larval development sites utilizing active substances with low environmental impact. A selection of biorational insecticides with potential against dipteran larvae was assayed… read more here.
