“…O extrato de D. amazonica apresentou elevada toxicidade a adultos de C. arcuatus em todas as vias de intoxicação avaliadas, confirmando o potencial inseticida dos timbós (Derris) relatado por diversos pesquisadores nas últimas décadas (Lima & Costa, 1998;Costa et al, 1999;Luitgards-Moura et al, 2002;Hien et al, 2003;Pereira & Famadas, 2004;Azevedo et al, 2005;Correa, 2006;Kotze et al, 2006). O efeito tóxico dos timbós está relacionado principalmente ao teor de rotenona (Crombie & Whiting, 1998;Fazolin et al, 2002;Marinos et al, 2004;Kotze et al, 2006), cujo valor determinado pela análise cromatográfica foi de 3,7% no extrato utilizado no presente estudo.…”

“…As espécies de timbó de maior importância pertencem aos gêneros Derris e Lonchocarpus (Costa et al, 1986;Lima, 1987) e, devido a sua toxicidade apresentam comprovada ação inseticida (Luitgards-Moura et al, 2002;Pereira & Famadas, 2004;Azevedo et al, 2005) e são utilizadas há várias décadas pelos índios da Amazônia nas pescarias e para o controle de insetos-praga (Hien et al, 2003;Marinos et al, 2004;Kotze et al, 2006). A obtenção, manipulação e aplicação do extrato de timbó é relativamente simples e de baixo custo (Costa et al, 1999), o que poderá viabilizar o seu uso como inseticida natural.…”

Ação inseticida do extrato de Derris amazonica Killip para Cerotoma arcuatus Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae

et al. 2010

A abundância e o potencial inseticida de Derris amazonica e a necessidade de controle de Cerotoma arcuatus Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) na cultura do feijão-caupi (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) estimularam a realização desta pesquisa, que objetivou avaliar a ação inseticida do extrato de D. amazonica a adultos de C. arcuatus em condições de laboratório. Os bioensaios testaram as vias de intoxicação por ingestão de folhas contaminadas, contato com superfície contaminada e aplicação tópica, com delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. Insecticide action of the extract of Derris amazonica Killip for Cerotoma arcuatus Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) ABSTRACTThe abundance and insecticidal potential of Derris amazonica in addition to need of controlling Cerotoma arcuatus for bean crop stimulated this research. The objective of this work was to evaluate insecticide action of the extract of D. amazonica to adults of C. arcuatus in laboratory conditions. The bioassays were carried out using three distend methodologies: leaf intake, contact in treated surface (filter paper) and topical application. A completed randomized experimental design was used with four replications. Mortality values and leaf consumption of the insects were subjected to regression analyses, being the Probit analyses used to determine of the i.e., LC 50 , LT 50 and LD 50 . The extract of D. amazonica containing 3.7% of rotenone was toxic to adults C. arcuatus when exposed to treated leaves (LC 50 = 15.14 µl.mL ). In all bioassays the adults mortality was higher than 80% with lower median lethal times obtained with 5% (v.v -1 ) concentrations of the extract. Leaf consumption by adults C. arcuatus was inversely proportional to the concentration of the extract when exposed by leaf intake or topical application, also being observed inhibition of feeding individuals. The extract of D. amazonica is toxic to C. arcuatus and inhibits the feeding of insects from the concentration of 1% (v v -1 ).

“…The tests were performed using the method described by Luitgards-Moura et al (2002) with minor changes, complying with adjustments in order to adapt to WHO protocols, to determine the susceptibility of sandflies to insecticides, according to Santamaría et al (2002). Plastic 7×11 cm (400 cm 3 ) pots were used, with their sides and bottom plastered with freshly prepared gypsum and then covered with nylon.…”

“…There is some evidence that certain plants, such as Solanum jasminoides Pastón, Ricimus communis L., or Bougainvillea glabra Choisy, are toxic for adult sandflies (Sharma and Singh 2008). On the other hand, some plants used by Indians from the Amazon are highly toxic for L. longipalpis, such as extracts from dry leaves of Antonia ovata Pohl (Loganiaceae) and Derris amazonica Killip (Papilionaceae) that kill 80 to 100 % of sandfly females, respectively (Luitgards-Moura et al 2002).…”

Adulticide effect of Monticalia greenmaniana (Asteraceae) against Lutzomyia migonei (Diptera: Psychodidae)

et al. 2012

Leishmaniasis is a public health problem that has been increasing year by year, with the further difficulty that an efficient control system is not available. Therefore, it is necessary to search for less contaminating and dangerous alternatives for controlling Leishmania transmitting sandflies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of Monticalia greenmaniana (Asteraceae) extracts and essential oil as an adulticide against Lutzomyia migonei (Diptera: Psychodidae) females, from a laboratory colony, in experimental conditions. Dry aerial parts of M. greenmaniana (Hieron) Jeffrey were used. Methanolic and aqueous extracts were prepared, and essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. Adulticide tests in pots, adulticide tests in cages, and knocked-down effects were determined. The results obtained demonstrated that methanolic and aqueous extracts produced adulticide activity. The essential oil from M. greenmaniana was proved to be the most toxic against L. migonei, with a 95 % death rate at a concentration of 0.01 mg/ml during a 1-h exposure. The essential oil showed a DL50 = 0.0050 and DL98 = 0.0066 mg/ml. The methanolic extract was DL50 = 0.130 and DL98 = 1.016 mg/ml, and the aqueous extract, DL50 = 0.487 and DL98 10.924 mg/ml. The knocked-down effect for the M. greenmaniana oil showed a KDTL50 = 48.6 and KDTL98 = 90.1 min. It was concluded that the essential oil from M. greenmaniana showed a strong insecticide effect against L. migonei females, which encourages us to continue these studies in search for control alternatives against sandflies.
