Abstract

In order to assess the potential effectiveness of DDT spray against mosquito larvae living under natural conditions and to determine the characteristics of the most effective form of spray, the variables considered were, area dosage of DDT, oil solutions compared with oil-in-water emulsions, concentration of DDT in the spray liquid, and drop size.
