Vector control is in risk as a result of the advent synthetic pesticide resistance. Plant derived insecticides may be used future bio alternatives due to their target specificity and biodegradability. The aim present study was determine efficacy Chloroform: Methanolic extract Michelia champaca seeds against all larval instars Culex quinquifasciatus, vector Bancroftian filariasis. showed remarka...

Frequent use of synthetic larvicides has led to the development of resistance in many species of mosquitoes as well as risk of environmental pollution. Recently, encapsulating essential oils (EOs) in surfactants or polymers is being employed as an approach to control the volatility of EOs as green larvicides. In this research, components of tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) essential oil were id...

Insecticide resistance has been known to be prevalent in several insect species including mosquito. It has become a major problem in vector control programs due to pesticide resistance through detoxification enzymes. The present study aimed to compare between the larvicidal action of some organophosphorus insecticides (fenitrothion, malathion and temephos) commonly used in larval control progra...

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) cases are quite high in Indonesia. One of the causes dengue is vector population, namely Aedes aegypti mosquito. Mosquito control Ae. one them uses larvicides to break chain reproduction. The use chemical-based can be bad because it pollute environment and cause resistance. As an alternative, you natural made from plants. plants that have potential as pepper (Pipe...

Chemical insecticides are the primary means to control mosquitoes, and mosquito control programs must regularly monitor for resistance of mosquito vectors to commonly used insecticides to ensure the efficacy and sustainability of active ingredients. We performed insecticide resistance bioassays to test the susceptibility of field-collected mosquitoes in central New Jersey to 1 larvicide (temeph...

The larvicidal activity of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate leaf extracts of Strychnos nuxvomica against the third instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus was studied. The ethyl acetate leaf extract was found to be the effective larvicide with LC value of 222.28 and 146.99 ppm after 24 and 48 hours. The results indicate 50 promising larvicidal activity against Culex quinquefasciatus. Furthe...

Because it is often logistically impossible to monitor all catch basins within an operational area, local mosquito control programs will preemptively treat catch basins with larvicides each season. However, these larvicides can, ostensibly, be considered water quality pollutants. To experimentally reduce the use of larvicides toward improving water quality, 30 basins within a small 0.7-km(2) re...
