    Abstract: By transmitting major human diseases, mosquito species represent a serious threat worldwide in terms of public health. Most vector control programmes aiming to control life-threatening mosquitoes rely on the use of chemical insecticides. For the reason that only a few insecticides are used for public health, maintaining the efficacy of control prog... Show More

    Abstract: Culex pipiens is the common mosquito in Egypt and worldwide species. There is limited evidence on the effects of breeding place nature on the susceptibility of Cx. pipiens to different insecticides. This study aims to evaluate the effects of some physiochemical parameters of different breeding sites in Egypt on Cx. pipiens susceptibility to some re... Show More
