Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.1,8‐Cineole, limonene, and camphor were abundant in Algerian Lavandula latifolia essential oil, whereas linalol and linalyl acetate were in Lavandula angustifolia. MIC and MBC results revealed L. latifolia oil was the most effective against Bacillus cereus. Hexyl butyrate and lavandulyl acetate, among others, bound efficiently to the active site of the

The potential of a new larviciding method for the control of malaria vectors
Malaria Journal, 2010 Malaria pathogens are transmitted to humans by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. The juvenile stages of these mosquitoes develop in a variety of water bodies and are key targets for vector control campaigns involving the application of larvicides.

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.

Epoxidation of CNSL Mixture, Cardanol, and Cardol: A Sustainable Solution for PVC Plasticization
European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 1, January 2026.This study has its focus on the epoxidation of technical cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), used as a PVC plasticizer. Epoxidation significantly enhanced plasticizing properties (increased elongation at break, decreased Young's modulus), along with improved thermal stability and chemical resistance.

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.
