■Bio-mathematics, Statistics and Nano-Technologies: Mosquito Control Strategies

spp. mosquitos. During the repellency test procedure, from all treated cotton fabrics most

of the mosquitos migrated to the untreated fabric resulting in high efficacy even 100 %.

Repellency test for Aedes aegypti mosquitos also gave high efficacy which is 90 – 100 %.
