Manatees as a naturalistic biological mosquito control method.
Mosquito News 27(3): 387-393. 5 figs. Sept. 1967.
–Recounts the history of weed and insect control studies using manatees in Panama, including the introduction into the Canal Zone of nine T. manatus from Panama and one T. inunguis from Peru. Concludes that effective weed control by manatees would require an unrealistically large herd of the animals.
