چکیده
The larvicidal activities to determine the efficacies of acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol dried leaf extracts of Annona squamosa, Cynodon dactylon, Melia azedarach and root extract of Hemidesmus indicus tested against 3 instar Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. The highest larvae mortality was found in the acetone followed by ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol extract of A. squamosa with LC50 values of 594.60, 490.35, 143.90, 117.98 and 280.62, 343.89, 156.92, 471.94 ppm; C. dactylon with LC50 values of 585.86, 143.32, 74.33, 148.65 and 408.48, 198.43, 169.28, 385.55 ppm; M. azedarach with LC50 values of 264.87, 65.27, 88.39, 514.65 and 192.78, 148.65, 172.24, 235.97 ppm H. indicus with LC50 values of 210.22, 174.82, 117.98, 445.45 and 363.91, 255.47, 186.61, 338.56 ppm against C. quinquefasciatus and A. aegypti. Our result suggested that the ethyl acetate of M. azedarach leaf extract was an excellent larvicidal potential in controlling filariasis and dengue vectors.

متن کاملLarvicidal 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 ...

The use of insecticides can cause adverse effects in vector control, a plant bio-insecticide is an advantageous substitute. Currently, the promising mosquito larvicidal activity from plant extracts has been reported worldwide, including Thailand. In this study, the endocarp of Pereskia bleo (Kunth) DC. fruit was extracted with distilled water and ethanol. Crudes and fractionated groups of the e...

BACKGROUND Botanical and microbial insecticides have been increasingly used for the control of mosquito given their efficacy and documented nontoxic effects on non-target organisms. The discovery of new insecticides is imperative because of the development of resistance by the mosquitoes to the readily available insecticides. The aim of this study was therefore to isolate and characterize compo...
