Bioefficacy of Some Egyptian Aromatic Plants on Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) Adults and Larvae.
Journal of Arthropod-borne Diseases 2017 March
BACKGROUND: Protecting the environment from chemical hazards of synthetic insecticides along with offering of new breeding areas for vectors by urbanization indicate the trial of natural insecticides.
METHODS: The acetone extracts of Anethum graveolens , Ocimum basilicum and Thymus vulgaris were tested for their insecticidal effect on Culex pipiens adults and larvae in different concentrations depending on the technique used.
RESULTS: The extracts were significantly effective in all models used with basil being the best in all tested three techniques (LC50 = 0.064) in larval feeding, (LC50 = 0.330) in CDC bottle assay and (LC50 = 13.148) in adults feeding (P< 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The results recommend the eco-friendly studied extracts as candidates for controlling Cx. pipiens the lymphatic filariasis vector.
