Plant extracts and essential oils have been showing potential for use as acaricides. Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown tick, mainly parasitizes dogs is responsible pathogens transmission. The insecticidal acaricidal activity of oil (EO) Syzygium aromaticum eugenol already reported, however against R. sanguineus lacked. To evaluate S. EO larvae in vitro assays were performed using larval...

Nanotechnology has emerged as promising field in insect pest management. Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) a well-known vector of dengue, chikungunya, and dengue haemorrhagic fever no commercial management practice for their eradication at the larval stage. In present study, copper sulphide one most detoxified form with biopotential properties was synthesised by standard methodology using sonochemical i...

ABSTRACT: The continuous use of synthetic insecticides for controlling the arboviral vector Aedes aegypti has led to natural selection mosquito populations resistant different chemical groups. Thus, plant-derived compounds have emerged as a viable alternative vectorcontrol. This study determined whether crude methanolic extract (CME) from leaves Clibadium surinamense larvicidal activity against...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Biological control through the use of parasitoids and pathogens is one of the alternatives to the use of chemical pesticides for control of insects of public health importance. At the Vector Control Research Centre, a liquid formulation developed using the metabolite of a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain was found to be lethal to larvae as well as pupae of vector mosquitoe...

The mosquito vector Aedes aegypti L., plays an important role in transmission of diseases including dengue, chikungunya and zika fever. In this study, citronella leaf oil extracted by hydro-distillation technique has been evaluated for its efficacy against vector. Citronella (100, 125, 150, 175 200 ppm) when tested, 150 ppm was found to be the effective larvicidal concentration 4th instar larva...

Pedikulosis kapitis merupakan infeksi kulit dan rambut kepala diakibatkan Pediculus humanus var. capitis yang saat ini masih sering terjadi. Pedikulisidal dari tumbuhan sudah banyak direkomendasikan sebagai pedikulisidal alternatif karena memiliki efek toksisitas pada manusia rendah. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi ekstrak etanol biji pepaya terhadap kematian capitis. menggunakan ...
