The community‐wide effectiveness of municipal larval control programs for <scp>West Nile</scp> virus risk reduction in <scp>Co</scp><scp>nnecticut, USA</scp>

Abstract

Larvicide applications reduced pupal abundance and the prevalence of host-seeking adults with no detectable impact on entomological risk metrics for WNV. Further research is needed to better determine the level of mosquito larval control required to reduce WNV transmission risk.
