Larvicidal efficacy of botanical extracts against two important vector mosquitoes.
OBJECTIVE To determine the larvicidal efficacy of different solvent leaf extract of Ervatamia coronaria and Caesalpinia pulcherrima against Anopheles subpictus and Culex tritaeniorhynchus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty five early third instar larvae of Anopheles subpictus and Culex tritaeniorhynchus were exposed to various concentrations and were assayed in the laboratory. The larval mortality...
متن کاملPhytochemical screening and larvicidal activity of peel extracts of Arachis hypogaea against chikungunya and malarial vectors
Phytochemicals represent a rich resource for the discovery of novel pesticides that are effective, cheap and environmentally safe. The main targeted mosquito vectors Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi cause serious human diseases. The chloroform, acetone, ethanol, methanol and aqueous peel extracts of Arachis hypogaea were studied for its larvicidal activity against the mosquito vectors. Phy...

The antibacterial activity of Citrus karna fruit peel extracts was evaluated on bacteria strains like Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Hexane, chloroform and methanol were used for extraction and the antibacterial activity was performed by agar well diffusion method. The results were compared with ampicillin, a commercial antibacterial agent...
متن کاملLarvicidal Efficacy of Temephos against Aedes Aegypti
Three new formulations of temephos (LAVIFOS SG 1%, MOSQ SG 1% and AZAI-SS ZG 1%) were evaluated for larvicidal efficacy against larvae of Aedes aegypti (L.) in waterstorage jars under field-simulated conditions. LAVIFOS SG 1% and MOSQ SG 1% are sand granule formulations, whereas AZAI-SS ZG 1% is zeolite granule formulation. Each formulation contained 1% temephos as an active ingredient. Each fo...
متن کاملPreliminary evaluation of mosquito larvicidal efficacy of plant extracts.
Mosquitoes are the most important single group of insects in terms of public health importance, which transmit a number of diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, etc. causing millions of deaths every year. Repeated use of synthetic insecticides for mosquito control has disrupted natural biological control systems and led to resurgences in mosquito populations. It ...
