Effects of a biologically active fraction from Melia volkensii on Culex quinquefasciatus
(1995)
A chromatographically enriched fraction designated Fraction B from dry fruits of the plant Melia volkensii (family Meliaceae) was evaluated with the objective of determining its toxic and growth inhibiting effects on the ...
