Abstract:Using Pyriproxyfen to control Aedes aegypti populations shows great potential considering its high competence in low dosages and environmental safety. As an endocrine disruptor, temperature can interfere in its e ciency, related to a decrease in larval emergence inhibition in hotter environments.However, previous studies have been performed at constant temperatures in the laboratory, which may not precisely re ect the environmental conditions in the eld. This study aimed to assess the effect of the uctuating t… Show more
