Effect of some new insect growth regulators on metamorphosis & reproduction of Aedes aegypti. Indian Journal of Medical Research. 1995 Jan; 101(): 13-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/18955Fourth instar larvae and pupae of Ae. aegypti were treated with four most active insect growth regulators from a new series of mixed alkyl and aryl diethers based on geraniol. Considerable reduction in fecundity and fertility of adults was obtained. Treatment of pupae or pharate adults did not affect adult emergence. Topical treatment of adult females caused great reduction in fertility and fecundity in older as compared to younger females. In addition to the effects on reproduction, adult survival was also reduced in the treated younger females.engAedes --drug effectsAnimalsFemaleGrowth Substances --pharmacologyMaleMetamorphosis, Biological --drug effectsReproduction --drug effectsJournal Article
