“…Drug prophylaxis and vector control are the only options available in case of malaria but in case of dengue there is no medicine available, hence prevention by vector control strategies remains the only cure [6]. Owing to the harmful effect of the disease transmitted by mosquitoes, the control of these diseases is essential for public health which depends on the controlling methods of their larval stages through spraying larvicides because it is easy to handle their larval form of mosquitoes than the adult form [7]. The approach to combat these diseases largely relies on interruption of the disease transmission cycle by either destruction of the aquatic stages by killing adult mosquitoes using chemical insecticides.…”

Mosquitoes are the most important group of insects in terms of public health importance, which transmit seriousdiseases. Vector control is a major challenge now a-days when they became resistance against commonly availableinsecticides and an adverse effect on non-target organisms and environment. Plants are potential source of bioactiveagents which can be used in vector control and phytochemicals may serve as appropriate alternative to syntheticinsecticides. The present work evaluated the mosquito larvicidal, pupicidal potential of ethanol leaf extract of Millingtoniahortensis against the larval (I-IV) and pupal stages of Aedes aegypti. The larvicidal and pupicidal assay test are carried out theinstructions of WHO guidelines. The data were subjected to Finney’s method of probit analysis. The LC50,90 /24,48hours values of ethanol leaf extract of M. hortensis to I instar larvae was 0.032 0.038; 0.021 0.031 % and this was found togradually increase with the age of larvae. Pupae showed the highest resistance to the ethanol leaf extract of M. hortensis asevident from the relatively higher LC50,90 /24,48 hours values 0.068, 0.071; 0059, 0.069 %. Therefore, ethanolic leafextract of M. hortensis can be used as alternative to synthetic larvicides and it may become an important tool in mosquitocontrol programs.
