Desiccation tolerance and possible starvation trade-offs in larvicide resistant Culex and Aedes mosquitoes [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Larvicides are widely used for mosquito control, but resistance development complicates efforts. We investigated the interplay between insecticide resistance and environmental stress in Aedes albopictus, Culex pipiens pipiens, and Culex pipiens ...

Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe conducted a molecular ecology experiment to determine foraging of stingless bees and potential exposure routes for aerially applied pesticides. We found that 27% of forager bees brought back Bti to the hive, and that this is a major route for pesticide exposure.

Novel Essential Oils Blend as a Repellent and Toxic Agent against Disease-Transmitting Mosquitoes
Toxics, 2023 Bio-insecticidal research has focused on long-term vector control using essential oils (EOs). This study examined the larvicidal, oviposition-deterrent, and repellent properties of five medicinal herb-based EO formulations (EOFs) on mosquitoes that are ...

Larvicidal activity of Cestrum nocturnum on Aedes aegypti
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology, 2010 Aedes aegypti is a vector parasite of the Dengue. New method to control the population of this insect is necessary. In the present work we evaluated the potential of extract from Cestrum nocturnum as larvicide.

The development of autonomous unmanned aircraft systems for mosquito control
PLoS ONE, 2020 We constructed an electric multi-rotor autonomous unmanned aerial system (UAS) to perform mosquito control activities. The UAS can be equipped with any of four modules for spraying larvicides, dropping larvicide tablets, spreading larvicide granules, and

In the screening of alternative insecticides to control Aedes aegytpti larvae 2-methylanthraquinone showed no genotoxicity and low toxicity to zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022 The threats posed by insecticide resistance to Aedes aegypti in the context of controlling dengue have led to an urgent search for an environmentally safer alternative chemical with more effective larvicidal properties.
