Breeding habitats of mosquito larvae in a paddy growing area in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia
Surveillance of mosquito larvae was performed in a paddy growing area in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia to uncover different types of breeding receptacles for mosquito larvae and species composition that bred in those positive receptacles. Fifty (50) natural and artificial receptacles were p...
