Larvicidal activity of the photosensitive insecticides, methylene blue and rose bengal, in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> and <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> mosquitoes

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Insecticides are critical for controlling mosquito populations and mitigating the spread of vector–borne disease, but their overuse has selected for resistant populations. A promising alternative to classical chemical insecticides is photosensitive molecules—here called photosensitive insecticides or PSIs—that when ingested and activated by light, generate broadly toxic reac...
