Dr. Rabiul, however, refused to name the places where the larvae were found before the official submission of the survey report to City Corporation authorities.
“We’ve also examined the effectiveness of different medicines on the Aedes mosquitoes. In our report, we’ll provide an overall strategy on how to make anti-mosquito drives more effective,” he added.
