Comparing larvicidal Effect of Methanol Extract of the Aerial Parts of Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger L.) and Oleander ( Nerium oleander L.) plants on Anopheles spp Larvae (Diptera: Culicidae) in Vitro

Abstract

Background: Malaria is an infectious disease by fever and chills, anemia and splenomegaly genus Plasmodium parasite is the agent it. One of the easiest and least expensive methods to prevent this disease is removing the vector that usually by been done insecticides and chemical pesticides, but nowadays due to the damaging effects of by toxic chemicals is currently trying to organic toxic and plant compounds used to combat the pests. So in this study used from the Hyoscyamus niger L. and Nerium oleander L. to destroy the larvae of this vectors and positive results were compared these two plants together.

It may be concluded that many pharmacological reports proved the claims of Unani scholar's, for example, Musakkin-e-Alam [29,31,32] (Analgesic) [51][52][53][54][55][56][57], Iltihab/warm [28,31,32,34,37,39] (inflammation) [51]; Ikhtelaj-e-Qalb [28,31,32] (cardioprotective) [80,81]; Zeequn Nafas [28,…”

Antiparasitic activities of medicinal plants: An overview

“…Methanol extract of Hyoscyamus niger aerial parts had positive effects on destroying the Anopheles spp larvae and the most effective extract for destroying the mosquitoes Anopheles spp larvae, was the flower extract of henbane (LC50 = 0/26 ppm) (339)(340) .…”

Efficacy of Methanol Leaf Extract, Biosynthesized Silver and Chitosan Nanoparticles Using Nerium oleander against Musca domestica

“…The maximum mortality (83%) was observed at the highest concentration (100ppm) (Mohammed, 2018). Some researchers have determined the larvicidal activity of N. oleander extracts of various plant parts against other insects (Behravan et al, 2017;Raveen et al, 2017 andSemiz, 2017).…”
