Spinosad as an Alternative Larvicide for Mosquito Culex pipiens Control
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...
متن کاملBVA 2 mosquito larvicide--a new surface oil larvicide for mosquito control.
BVA 2 mosquito larvicide was evaluated in laboratory pan tests against 3rd-instar Aedes taeniorhynchus (Wied.), Culex quinquefasciatus Say, and Culex nigripalpus Theobald larvae. BVA 2 was as effective as the standard, GB-1111, at 14 liters/ha (> 99.1% vs. 99.8%). In small field plot tests BVA 2 mosquito larvicide applied at 28 liters/ha was as effective as GB-1111 (99.0% vs. 99.8%) 24 h posttr...
متن کاملPyriproxyfen as a Mosquito Larvicide
Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator that affects the physiology of morphogenesis, reproduction and embryogenesis of insects. It exhibits a high level of activity against mosquito larvae inhibiting adult emergence at very low dose rates. It has low mammalian toxicity and environmental impact. This paper reviews pyriproxyfen efficacy against nuisance mosquitoes and vectors of dengue and ma...
متن کاملPotential for resistance to pyriproxyfen: a promising new mosquito larvicide.
An organophosphorus-resistant strain of Culex quinquefasciatus was pressured with pyriproxyfen for 17 generations. Egg viability began declining in the F7 generation and became lower as the selection process continued; by the F17 generation egg viability was too low to proceed further. Susceptibility tests on larvae of the F5, F10, F15, and F17 generations showed no indication of increased tole...
متن کاملA review of spinosad as a natural product for larval mosquito control.
The effectiveness of spinosad for larval mosquito control is summarized based on available published literature and some heretofore unpublished studies. Spinosad is highly active against larvae of all mosquito species tested thus far. It is effective at similar dosages for all larval mosquito instars, with peak cumulative mortality occurring at 72 h posttreatment. More studies are needed to ful...
