“…In addition, exposure of larvae to sub-lethal doses of PPF affects the adults’ egg development, egg production and reduces the hatching of eggs [24,25]. Exposure to PPF has been studied extensively in Aedes mosquitoes [11,13,15,26-28] and it has been shown that topical application can also reduce the reproductive capacity of adults [13,15,27,28] depending on dosage and time of exposure in relation to the blood meal [13], which signals the start of egg development [29]. However, inconsistent information on the effect of PPF exposure on egg-laying and hatching of eggs laid can be found for various species requiring more research in this subject area [13,15,30,31].…”
