INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Endemic in more than 100 countries
cases of dengue fever doubled in Metro Manila
INTRODUCTION
Statement of the Problem
• Is there a significant difference in the population of the larvae of mosquitoes between the different treatments? • Is there a significant difference in the effectiveness of different concentrations of Sampaguita Leaf
Crude Extract against the positive and negative control? INTRODUCTION
Significance of the Study
285 DEATHS of children between 1 and 9 years of age
Dengue cases still continue to be prevalent search for more efficient and easier ways of eliminating mosquito larvae eliminating the mosquito larvae before they could grow and become infectious
