Mosquito oviposition deterrents

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017
Mosquitoes are well-known vectors of disease and threaten the health of millions of people annually. While synthetic insecticides have been relied on to combat these diseases, insecticide resistance and environmental concerns have directed attention towards novel and more targeted mosquitocides derived from botanicals.

Oviposition pheromones in insect vectors

Parasitology Today, 1995
Oviposition aggregation pheromones occur in a range of insect groups including Diptera, where they mediate oviposition in four different families of disease vectors. In this paper, Philip McCall and Mary Cameron discuss the selection pressures favouring oviposition pheromones and speculate on their potential applications in disease monitoring and ...

Regulation of Oviposition

1996
The laying of hard-shelled eggs (oviposition) by all birds and certain reptiles is a pivotal step in reproduction and in the successful survival of these species. The regulation of oviposition, not unlike that of parturition in mammals, is under the influence of multiple factors.

Oviposition Pheromones in Haematophagous Insects

2010
Pheromones influencing oviposition behavior in females of haematophagous insects have been the interest of recent past by many group of scientists working on oviposition pheromones. Finding and choosing a good site for oviposition is a challenging task for females of haematophagous insects, especially in those insects which does not have the parental ...

Regulation of Oviposition in Social Hymenoptera

Nature, 1948
THE rate of increase of population in societies of social insects obviously depends upon the numbers of adults which can be produced per head of the adult population. Ideally, the numbers of eggs laid should be just appropriate to this situation, so that the prevailing food supply may be efficiently transformed.
