Mosquitoes are dangerous transmitters of disease. Each year, about 300 million people are infected with diseases such as Malaria and Zika and nearly one million people die. Other deadly mosquito-vectored diseases are West Nile fever and Dengue.
Microbial mosquito larvicides have gained considerable acceptance in recent years.
