Nanoemulsion of eucalyptus oil and its larvicidal activity against Culex quinquefasciatus.
Filariasis is a mosquito-borne disease that causes lymphedema and the main vector is Culex quinquefasciatus. A simple measure was taken to eradicate the vector using nanoemulsion. Eucalyptus oil nanoemulsion was formulated in various ratios comprising of eucalyptus oil, tween 80 and water by ultrasonication. The stability of nanoemulsion was observed over a period of time and 1:2 ratios of euca...
متن کاملLarvicidal potential of Cyathea species against Culex quinquefasciatus
Resistance to insecticides has persuaded researchers to find new methods to control Culex quinquefasciatus proliferation. Plants may be a source of alternative agents for mosquito control due to ever-growing insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors and environmental imbalance caused by synthetic insecticides. The present study was intended to study the larvicidal activity of selected Cyathea ...
متن کاملLarvicidal activity of two seaweeds, Ulva fasciata and Grateloupia lithophila against mosquito vector, Culex quinquefasciatus
The frequent use of systemic insecticides to manage insect pests leads to a destabilisation of ecosystem and enhanced resistance to insecticides and pests suggesting a clear need for alternatives. In addition, increasing documentation of negative environmental and health impact of synthetic insecticides and increasingly stringent environmental regulation of pesticides have resulted in renewed i...
متن کاملRepellent activity of Eucalyptus and Azadirachta indica seed oil against the filarial mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) in India
The mosquitoes are a serious threat to public health, since they are known vector of many life-threatening diseases like malaria, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya and dengue fever, which are transmitted by the species of three mosquito genera: Anopheles, Culex and Aedes. Repellency is an important way of preventing vector-borne diseases by reducing man-vector contact. Most commerc...
متن کاملLarvicidal activity of Nerium oleander L. (Apocynaceae) flower extracts against Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae)
Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector responsible for serious disease filariasis among human beings. Plant derived products have received increased attention from scientists as they serve as a rich source for novel natural substances possessing insecticidal properties which are safe to human and ecosystem. During the last decade, various studies on natural plant products against vector mosquito ...
