Abstract

Dose/effect relationships for radiant energy from high-intensity flash discharges causing mortality and sterility in male and female adults of Aedes aegypti (L.) were established. The rate of progression of effect changed markedly at a particular stage of the voltage range used. This is attributed to a change in the wavelength content of the light emitted at the higher voltages.
