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...

OBJECTIVE To assess the larvicidal and repellent potential of the essential oil extracted from the leaves of peppermint plant, Mentha piperita (M. piperita) against the larval and adult stages of Aedes aegypti (Ae. Aegypti). METHODS The larvicidal potential of peppermint oil was evaluated against early fourth instar larvae of Ae. aegypti using WHO protocol. The mortality counts were made afte...

*Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Toxicity and morphogenetic effects at different concentrations (0.1%, 0.05%, 0.025%, 0.01%, 0.005%, 0.0025%) of Andalin (Flucycloxuron) were evaluated topically on the dorsal surface against fifth instar nymphs of Dysdercus koenigii (Fabr.). The data showed that Andalin was found to be toxic at all the above mentioned concentrations, the ...
