Essential oils and their components as an alternative in the control of mosquito vectors of disease

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2017
More than half of the human population is exposed to mosquito-borne infections. Climate change and the emergence of strains resistant to traditionally used insecticides have motivated the search of new agents for mosquito population control.

LARVICIDAL ALGAE

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007
Although most algae are nutritious food for mosquito larvae, some species kill the larvae when ingested in large quantities. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that kill larvae do so by virtue of toxicity. While blue-green algae toxins may offer possibilities for delivery as larvicides, the toxicity of live blue-green algae does not seem consistent ...

Larviciding to prevent malaria transmission

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2019
Larviciding refers to the regular application of chemical or microbial insecticides to water bodies or water containers to kill the aquatic immature forms of the mosquito (the larvae and pupae).To summarize research evidence evaluating whether larviciding with chemical or microbial insecticides prevents malaria transmission.We searched the Cochrane ...

Community acceptance of yeast interfering RNA larvicide technology for control of Aedes mosquitoes in Trinidad.

PLoS ONE, 2020
RNA interference (RNAi), a technique used to investigate gene function in insects and other organisms, is attracting attention as a potential new technology for mosquito control. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) was recently engineered to produce
