Provided herein are methods of inactivating a mosquito larva, the methods comprising exposing the larva to an aqueous chlorine dioxide treatment solution for a minimum contact time, wherein the aqueous chlorine dioxide treatment solution comprises a residual chlorine dioxide concentration at the conclusion of the minimum contact time. Also provided herein are methods of treating a body of water containing a mosquito larva. The methods are effective to inactivate the larva, thereby preventing growth of mosquito populations and the related spread of mosquito-borne disease.

A water purification system provides clean water for the consumption by livestock by using a continuously recirculating water loop. Optionally, a circulating pump moves the water within the water loop in a flow direction. A water supply inlet is fluidically connected to the water loop to provide additional water. A particle filter system (or systems) is fluidically connected in series and removes dissolved solids or particulates within the water. An ozone purification system and/or with the addition of other antimicrobial or purification agents is fluidically connected in parallel to a portion of the continuously recirculating feedback monitored and control water loop. The ozone purification system is disposed downstream of the particle filter system and RO (or similar) system in relation to the flow direction. A feeding station is connected in series with the continuously recirculating water loop disposed downstream of the ozone purification system in relation to the flow direction.

The present invention relates to a method for dispersing biofilm using mannose and its analogs.
