Repellent activity of Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus Mart. and Ricinus communis L. extracts against Aedes aegypti L. oviposition behavior
Female Aedes aegypti lay their eggs on nearly any moist substrate.Methods with potential to repel oviposition may reduce infestation, thereby contributing to control of epidemics.We evaluated the influence of Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus and Ricinus communis plant extracts on the oviposition behavior of A.aegypti.Lethal concentrations were first deter
