PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF HYPTIS SUAVEOLENS EXTRACT AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE GROWTH OF DISEASE-CAUSING PARASITES

Plants extracts contain many essential natural synthesized chemical compounds with considerable potentials for medicinal exploitation and application. There has been a growing concern about the adverse effects of mosquito repellants need to search environment-friendly Mosquito repellants. Synthetic insecticides their associated toxicity issuesand incidence insect resistance haveinspired novel insecticides. The present study analyzed phytochemical extract H. suaveolensand its effect on pupa. A total number pupa (320) was poured into 200ml glass beaker twenty pupae each per three hours introduced containing different concentrations (ppm) Hyptissuaveolens. Twenty were in contrast 100ml distilled water treated 1ml acetone used as control. untreated control.The result reveals that Hyptissuaveolenspossesses inhibitory activity against Anopheles gambiae.
