information on the effect of individual amino acids
extracts in developmental period of immature forms of
Cx. quinquefasciatus
in laboratory bioassay.
Author’s Contributions
UA and AG both study the developmental period of immature
stages of
Culex quinquefasciatus
in labora- tory bioassay with
aqueous amino acid extracts. GC supervised the whole work and
prepared the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final
manuscript.
