DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2016.12.038
Abstract: Some pesticides are applied directly to aquatic systems to reduce numbers of mosquito larvae (larvicides) and thereby reduce transmission of pathogens that mosquitoes vector to humans and wildlife. Sustained, environmentally-safe control of larval mosquitoes is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jspr.2017.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Efficacy of aerosol applications of pyrethrin + methoprene was assessed through emergence of morphologically-normal adults exposed as larvae and through a developmental index. Concrete arenas were treated with aerosol droplets (particles) averaging 2 μm or 16 μm, food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0007485322000621
Abstract: Abstract Methoprene, a juvenile hormone analog, is used to accelerate sexual maturation in males of species of economic importance in support to the sterile insect technique (SIT). In the SIT, mass-reared sterile males are released… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0332621
Abstract: S-methoprene, an insect growth regulator, and Lysinibacillus sphaericus (Ls), an entomopathogenic bacterium, are important larvicides used to control Culex pipiens [L.] mosquitoes, the primary vector of West Nile virus, in the Chicago, IL USA region.… read more here.
