“…Hence, there has been an increasing interest in the development of alternative methods of mosquito control which are less hazardous to humans and other living organisms. In this regard, plantderived compounds have emerged as good candidates, not only as new effective tools in vector management but also as environmentally safer agents (Garcez et al 2009;Govindarajan et al 2011;Kalaivani et al 2011;Prophiro et al 2011;Kanis et al 2011). The present study evaluated the effect of a novel herbal formulation PONNEEM prepared from A. indica and P. glabra oils to minimize human vector mosquitoes.…”

The objective of this study was to develop a herbal formulation to control dengue vector mosquitoes. PONNEEM, a novel herbal formulation prepared using the oils of neem (Azadirachta indica), karanj (Pongamia glabra) and their extracts, was tested for larvicidal, ovicidal and oviposition deterrent activities against Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus at 1, 0.5, 0.3 and 0.1 ppm concentrations. Cent percent larvicidal and ovicidal activities were observed at 0.1 ppm in the two mosquito species under laboratory and sunlight-exposed conditions up to 12 months from the date of manufacture. Oviposition deterrent activity of 69.97% and 71.05% was observed at 1 ppm concentration of PONNEEM against A. aegypti and A. albopictus, respectively. Reduction in enzyme levels for α-esterase was 0.089 ± 0.008 and 0.099 ± 0.140 μg napthol produced/min/mg larval protein; for β-esterase, it was 0.004 ± 0.009 and 0.001 ± 0.028 μg napthol produced/min/mg larval protein; for glutathione S-transferase, it was 10.4814 ± 0.23 and 11.4811 ± 0.21 μmol/min/mg larval protein and for total protein, it was 0.177 ± 0.010 and 0.008 ± 0.005 mg/individual larva in treated groups of A. aegypti and A. albopictus, respectively. The nontarget organisms such as Gambusia affinis and Diplonychus indicus were not affected. No mortality was observed in control. PONNEEM can be used effectively for the management of human vector mosquitoes.

The constant use of chemical insecticides for Aedes aegypti control has caused resistance in the mosquito populations. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the larvicidal potential of extracts and fractions of plants on A. aegypti larvae. The analysis included sixty one extracts and twenty five fractions of fifty botanical species at concentrations of 0.25; 0.12; 0.06 to 0.03 mg mL -1 ; 4 replications and one negative control of dechlorinate water and 1% DMSO; and a positive control with rotenone. The toxicity index in descending order with LC 50 for the most active of the extracts selected were ethanol extract of Ormosea arborea (0.111 mg mL -1 ) seeds and ethanol extracts of leaves such as Piper hispidum (0.169 mg mL -1 ),Solanum variabile (0.188 mg mL -1 ), O. arborea (0.238 mg mL -1 ), Turnera umifolia (0.242 mg mL -1 ) andPiper hispidum (0.567 mg mL -1 ). For plant fractions, the most active were chloroform (0.192 mg mL -1 ) and hexane (0.342 mg mL -1 ) P. aduncum leaves, hexane fraction (0.415 mg mL -1 ) and methanol extract (0.625 mg mL -1 ) of Spermacocea latifolia leaves. Regarding the extract of T. umifolia single species, there is no bibliographic report on their degree of efficiency as an insecticide.

“…The results of this paper present a better adulticide activity for M. greenmaniana essential oil in comparison with metanolic and aqueous extracts. There have been just few studies regarding botanical products that have revealed the adulticide effect against sandflies in comparison with mosquitoes (Amóra et al 2009;Pandey et al 2009;Khandagle et al 2011;Pitarokili et al 2011;Prophiro et al 2012). This is probably due to the difficulties of maintenance and availability of sandfly colonies (Yaghoobi-Ershadi et al 2006).…”

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

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.
