Abstract
The present study is an effort to report the larvicidal properties of certain indigenous plants against filarial vector. In the present investigation, an effort has been made to investigate the effect ofTridax procumbens presented fraction on fecundity, fertility and making behaviour of Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera; culicida)
