[A method for testing new film-forming larvicides as regulators of the population count of blood-sucking mosquitoes].

To enhance requirements for environmental protection and the emergence of mosquito populations resistant to insecticides demands that new methods and means of controlling the insects should be developed. To test surfactants having insecticidal effects was a trend of these studies. No mention of the above group of insecticides in the well-known "Methods for Testing New Chemicals for the Control of Blood-Sucking Diptera" (1970) made it necessary to work out "Methods of Testing New Film-Forming Larvicides as Regulators of the Population of Blood-Sucking Mosquitos" which may be used by the workers of the centers of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance and research institutes.
