The phototoxicity of certain dyes against the West Nile vector, Culex pipiens larvae (Diptera: Culicidae)
Mosquitoes play a crucial role in the transmission of some dangerous infectious diseases. Many chemical insecticides used to control mosquitoes are toxic and ineffective because of insects' resistance. Light activation of dyes produces singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen species, which are insecticidal, in photodynamic insecticides (PDI), and scientists have long recognized this efficient alternative. Three dyes (alizarin red, bromothymol blue, and methylene blue) were evaluated as...
