Larviciding to prevent malaria transmission.

CONCLUSIONS: Most controlled studies on larviciding have been performed with microbial agents. Ground larviciding for non-extensive larval habitats may have an effect on malaria transmission, and we do not know if there is an effect in large-scale aquatic habitats. We found no studies using larviciding application techniques that could cover large aquatic habitats, such as aerial spraying using aircraft. PMID: 31425624 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
