Larvicidal 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 some plant extracts to larvae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus (Say 1823).
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Searching for potent plant larvicides, crude aqueous extract of the latex of Uschar (Calotropis procera) and Labakh (Ficus benghalensis) were tested against the fourth instar larvae of the lymphatic filariasis vector Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) using the conventional methods recommended by the WHO. Likewise, the toxicity level of Malathion was tested. The ...
متن کاملLarvicidal Activity of Cassia occidentalis (Linn.) against the Larvae of Bancroftian Filariasis Vector Mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus
Background & Objectives. The plan of this work was to study the larvicidal activity of Cassia occidentalis (Linn.) against the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. These larvae are the most significant vectors. They transmit the parasites and pathogens which cause a deadly disease like filariasis, dengue, yellow fever, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya, and so forth, which are considered...
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 کاملLarvicidal activity of leaf extract of Millingtonia hortensis (Family: Bignoniaceae) against Anopheles stephensi, Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti.
Mosquitoes are the principal vectors of malaria and other vector borne diseases and contribute to major disease burden in India. Disease transmission can be interrupted by controlling the vectors using various methods. However, the extensive and unbalanced use of chemical insecticides have created problems like enhancing resistance of mosquito population to synthetic insecticides, pollution of ...
