Present and future potential of plant-derived products to control arthropods of veterinary and medical significance [PDF]

, 2014
The use of synthetic pesticides and repellents to target pests of veterinary and medical significance is becoming increasingly problematic. One alternative approach employs the bioactive attributes of plant-derived products (PDPs). These are particularly

Potential mosquito larvicides from Morinda citrifolia root extract [PDF]

, 2009
In our recent investigation on Morinda citrifolia as a potential larvicide against the larvae of Aedes aegypti, we found 1-hydroxy-2-methyl anthraquinone (1) to have good larvicidal activity. Extracts of the roots of Morinda citrifolia were also found to

Mosquito Larvicidal Activity of Botanical-Based Mosquito Repellents

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2008
The larvicidal activity of 4 plant essential oils--innamon oil, lemon eucalyptus oil, sandalwood oil, and turmeric oil--previously reported as insect repellents was evaluated in the laboratory against 4th instars of Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, and Culex pipiens.

Larvicidal Activity of Tagetes erecta Against Aedes aegypti

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2011
The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of essential oil from Tagetes erecta against 3rd instars of Aedes aegypti and to determine the amounts of larvicidal thiophenes in all plant tissues. The oil obtained by steam distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed 14 compounds.

Characterization of a broad-based mosquito yeast interfering RNA larvicide with a conserved target site in mosquito semaphorin-1a genes [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: RNA interference (RNAi), which has facilitated functional characterization of mosquito neural development genes such as the axon guidance regulator semaphorin-1a (sema1a), could one day be applied as a new means of vector control ...

Serratia marcescens secretes proteases and chitinases with larvicidal activity against Anopheles dirus.

Acta Tropica, 2020
Vector control, the most efficient tool to reduce mosquito-borne disease transmission, has been compromised by the rise of insecticide resistance. Recent studies suggest the potential of mosquito-associated microbiota as a source for new biocontrol ...

Identification of the temperature- induced larvicidal efficacy of Agave angustifolia against Aedes, Culex and Anopheles larvae

Frontiers in Public Health, 2016
Synthetic insecticides are generally employed to control the mosquito population. However, their injudicious over usage and non-biodegradability are associated with many adverse effects on the environment and mosquitoes.
