Effectiveness of Deposits of Sevin, Ddt, Bayer 39007, and Bayer 37344 against Anopheles Albimanus in Haiti.

Maintenance of Anopheles albimanus on frozen blood.

Larvicidal activity of Ferulago carduchorum Boiss. & Hausskn. against the main malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi

Background and objectives: Malaria is a remarkable cause of death in the world. Several ways are used by researchers to control or to decrease the detrimental effects of the disease, in which natural insecticides with less malaria vectors resistance and lower environmental damages are considered in last decades.The objective of this study was to assess the larvicidal activity of the whole flowe...

Fatty Acid Composition and Toxicity of Melia azedarach L. Fruits against Malaria Vector Anopheles stephensi

      The fruit of Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) was extracted with hexane, and its fatty acids methyl ester was analyzed using GC/MS. Thirteen components representing 85.1% of the total extract were identified. The major components identified were methyl palmitate (18.8%), methyl linolenate (16.1%) and methyl linoleate (9.8%). The fruits’ extract had a LC50 of 5.5 ppm agai...

Recessive lethal mutations in Anopheles albimanus.

Six recessive lethal mutants of Anopheles albimanus are described. Homozygotes for three of the autosomal mutants, viz., bar eye, dot eye and hairy, die during the last larval or early pupal stages; complete linkage data are lacking for bar eye and hairy but dot eye is tightly linked to red eye on the right arm of chromosome 2. Larval and pupal mortality is high for homozygotes of the other two...
