The effectiveness of a floor gully with grating to prevent the oviposition of aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linneaus): a laboratory study

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a floor gully come with grating to prevent the oviposition of Aedes aegypti in the floor trap. In order to conduct the test, two containers were placed into a mosquito cage (30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm). Both containers were filled with declorinate...
