Abstract

The lethality of T-2 toxin to adult femaleAedes aegypti mosquitoes was investigated using various methods of application: Topically, by injection, and by natural feeding. The technique of topical application was found to be the most precise, whereby an LD50 of 565 ng T-2 toxin/mosquito was determined.
