Abstract
AbstractExtracts of eight species of freshwater vegetation were tested for toxicity against larvae of Aedes aegypti L. All extracts were found to be toxic. The same extracts and culture water from one of the species were also tested for their possible influences on the oviposition behaviour of A. aegypti. Extracts of six species repelled ovipositing females; one extract and the culture water attracted ovipositing females; and one extract type had no influence on the oviposition behaviour.
