Abstract
The incidence of mosquito-borne [human] disease was drastically reduced by the use of DDT in the 1950s. The problem has worsened and no single method of eradication seems successful. The combination of various methods of chemical control and genetic control to rid the third world of its most important disease vector is proposed.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
