EVALUATION OF SUBLETHAL EFFECTS OF Ipomoea cairica LINN. EXTRACT ON LIFE HISTORY TRAITS OF DENGUE VECTORS

Abstract: Plant derived insecticides have considerable potential for mosquito control because these products are safer than conventional insecticides. This study aimed to investigate sublethal activities of Ipomoea carica or railway creeper crude acethonilic extract against life history trait of dengue vectors, Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. The late third instar larvae of Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti were exposed to a sublethal dose at LC50 and larvae that survived were further cultured. Overall, Ipomea cairica … Show more

“…On the other hand, in the control group, the number of male mosquitos was more than the number of female mosquitos. The results of this study were in line with previous studies that found mosquitoes that hatch from pupae into adults are mostly male 18 .…”

“…gambiae mosquitoes are likely to suffer the consequences of running the risk of exposure to potential predators and human interference as observed in Aedes aegypti (Padmanabha et al, 2011). This is likely to alter the female mosquito fertility and fecundity (Zuharah et al, 2016), crucial vectorial traits necessary for survival. It is also likely to affect epidemiologically relevant mosquito disease transmission traits such as longevity or vector competence (Beldomenico and Begon, 2010;Muturi et al, 2011;Takken et al, 2013;Moller-Jacobs et al, 2014).…”

“…Colonies of Ae. aegypti were subjected to a sublethal dose LC 50 [ 34 ] (where 50% of the mosquitoes could still be alive and capable of producing first-generation progeny) of MHAQ following the WHO larval bioassay method. After 24-h exposure, the surviving larvae were transferred and allowed to emerge in emergence cages.…”
