This is a good article. One missing piece might be the inclusion of parasitic nematodes under biological larvicides targeting mosquitos. The mermithid nemotode Romanomermis Iyengari and others can be mass produced and are currently being used in Roraima, Brazil, Cuba and Pondicherry, India (possibly others as well), to control larval mosquitos.

This is documented in the literature as well as on the mosquito control page of Wikipedia.

Short desc

Hi @NOLA1982: That's better because the other was even longer, but this is still longer than the recommended 40 characters: It's 84! Could we cut this down even further? Maybe "Insecticide against the larval stage" which is 36? I just made that up. IDK. Invasive Spices (talk) 19:33, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead. I had forgotten about the 40 character recommendation. Thanks! NOLA1982 (talk) 19:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
