Journal ArticleDOI
Bioefficacy of Mentha piperita essential oil against dengue fever mosquito Aedes aegypti L
TL;DR: The peppermint essential oil is proved to be efficient larvicide and repellent against dengue vector and the isolation of active ingredient from the oil could help in formulating strategies for mosquito control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the synergist, piperonyl butoxide, on the development of deltamethrin resistance in yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae)
TL;DR: The data indicate the involvement of cytochrome P450-dependent detoxification as the primary mechanism of development of resistance to deltamethrin in the larvae and the implications on the management of larval and adult stages of Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Parthenium hysterophorus leaf extracts on the fecundity, fertility and behavioural response of Aedes aegypti L.
Sarita Kumar,Abhay Pratap Singh,Gokul Nair,Sahil Batra,Anubha Seth,Naim Wahab,Radhika Warikoo +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the selective efficiency of Parthenium leaf extracts against A. aegypti, as the most effective oviposition deterrent and ovicidal agent was least effective as irritant extract and vice-versa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larvicidal and irritant activities of hexane leaf extracts of Citrus sinensis against dengue vector Aedes aegypti L.
TL;DR: The hexane extracts from C. sinensis leaves are proved to be reasonably larvicidal but remarkably irritant against dengue vector and further studies are needed to identify the possible role of extract as adulticide, oviposition deterrent and ovicidal agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larvicidal potential of ethanolic extracts of dried fruits of three species of peppercorns against different instars of an indian strain of dengue fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae)
TL;DR: The results revealed that the extracts of all the three pepper species were 11–25 times more toxic against the third instar larvae as compared to the early fourth instars, indicating delayed larval toxicity and effects of the extracts on the neuromuscular system.
