Abstract

In view of the current interest in the use of sterile males to control or eradicate some species of mosquitoes, information is needed about chemicals or other methods that induce sterility in these insects. Thus, at the Insects Affecting Man Investigations Laboratory at Gainesville, Fla., we have begun to evaluate the sterilizing effect of chemicals on the southern house mosquito, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say.
