Abstract
The mosquitoes are the principal vector for many of the vector in borne diseases affecting human beings and other animals. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the Oviposited activity of Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) Methoprene and Short time exposure of three species of mosquitoes, viz., Culex quinquefasciatus (Say), Aedes aegypti (L.) and Anopheles stephensi (Liston).
Keywords: Oviposited, short time exposure, methoprene
