Essential oils: As Potential Larvicides
Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, 2022 Multiple synthetic products are used against mosquitoes to kill them and inhibit the transmission of these vector-borne diseases. The continuous use of these products produces detrimental effects on the environment and non-target organisms, which also develops resistance in the mosquito.

Botanicals as Mosquito Larvicides
Defence Science Journal, 2006 Methanol extracts of 19 indigenous plants were evaluated as mosquito larvicide. Among these, pericarp of Zanthoxylum limonella was found to have the most promising larvicidal properties against Aedes(s) albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus with LC 90 values at 0.47 ppm and 0.73 ppm, respectively.

Properties for Sourcing Nigerian Larvicidal Plants [PDF]
Molecules, 2014 Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of chikungunya, yellow and dengue fevers. Dengue fever is the major cause of child morbidity and hospitalisation in some Asian and African countries, while yellow fever is prevalent in Nigeria. The development of resistance to the available insecticides has necessitated the continued search for safer ones from plants.
