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.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Dung beetles feed on various food sources that are rich in microbial life. Here, we describe how the diets of seven dung beetle species, specialising in coprophagy, necrophagy, detritophagy, fungivory and carnivory influence their gut bacterial structure and diversity.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 2, February 2026.An integrated computational/experimental workflow was used to identify new candidate molecules for Aedes aegypti control. Docking of 1,070 chalcones against mJHBP, followed by in vivo assays, identified 4′‐chloro‐4‐methoxychalcone (2c) as the most active larvicide candidate.
