Mario Maffi,

Insect Pest Control Strategies

LITERATURE on the natural enemies of mosquitoes reviewed by Hinman1–3, contains little to suggest that crustaceans are of much significance as biological control agents. Therefore, and in view of the fact that there is renewed interest in biotic factors in vector control4, this communication may stimulate others to pursue the matter further than I can.
