Abstract
BIOLOGICAL control is assuming an ever-increasing importance as a means of augmentation of, or substitution for, the use of pesticides in the control of both medically and economically important arthropods. This applies in particular to Culex fatigans, the main vector of Wuchereria bancrofti throughout most of the tropics and subtropics. Control of this mosquito is complicated by the widespread occurrence of resistance to most insecticides, together with the complexities of larval control by sanitation or other non-insecticidal methods.
