“…The whole plants (herbs) of marjoram and chamomile and leaves of Eucalyptus were dried for a week at room temperature, and then crushed according to the method of Calmasur et al [13] . Essential oils were extracted by hydro distillation (deionized water for 4 h) under vacuum according to the method of Aroiee et al [14] .…”

“…EOs extracted from plants of the genus Origanum showed mosquito larvicidal (Isman et al 2001), pupicidal (Calmasur et al 2006), and adulticidal potential against different insect pests (Yildirim et al 2005). In particularly, EOs extracted from Origanum compactum (Lahlou et al 2001), Origanum syriacum (Traboulsi et al 2002), Origanum majorana (ElAlhak et al 2016), Origanum Onites, and Origanum minutiflorum (Cetin and Yanikoglu 2006) exhibited larvicidal action against Culex pipiens, while EO obtained from the leaves of Origanum vulgare was toxic against larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Anopheles subpictus, and Anopheles stephensi .…”

The recent outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus highlighted the pivotal importance of mosquito vector control in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. However, mosquito control is facing hot challenges, mainly due to the rapid development of pesticide resistance in Culicidae and the limited success of biocontrol programs on Aedes mosquitoes. In this framework, screening botanicals for their mosquitocidal potential may offer effective and ecofriendly tools in the fight against mosquitoes. In the present study, the essential oil (EO) obtained from the medicinal plant Origanum scabrum was analyzed by GC-MS and evaluated for its mosquitocidal and repellent activities towards Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Culex tritaeniorhynchus. GC-MS analysis showed a total of 28 compounds, representing 97.1 % of the EO. The major constituents were carvacrol (48.2 %) and thymol (16.6 %). The EO was toxic effect to the A. stephensi, A. aegypti, C. quinquefasciatus, and C. tritaeniorhynchus larvae, with LC 50 of 61.65, 67.13, 72.45, and 78.87 μg/ml, respectively.Complete ovicidal activity was observed at 160, 200, 240, and 280 μg/ml, respectively. Against adult mosquitoes, LD 50 were 122.38, 134.39, 144.53, and 158.87 μg/ml, respectively. In repellency assays, the EOs tested at 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/cm 2 concentration of O. scabrum gave 100 % protection from mosquito bites up to 210, 180, 150, and 120 min, respectively. From an eco-toxicological point of view, the EO was tested on three non-target mosquito predators, Gambusia affinis, Diplonychus indicus, and Anisops bouvieri, with LC 50 ranging from 4162 to 12,425 μg/ml. Overall, the EO from O. scabrum may be considered as a low-cost and eco-friendly source of phytochemicals to develop novel repellents against Culicidae.

“…It has been well established that certain plant-derived extracts and phytochemicals may provide potential alternatives to be used as pest control agents (Calmasur et al, 2006). The main objective of this study is to screen 29 medicinal plant species native to Lebanon for the bioactivity of their extracts against the adult T. urticae which has been reported to have resistance to pesticides in Lebanon; knowing that methanol extracts of these plant species, except Calendula palestina Pers.…”

Forty two methanol extracts and 12 aqueous extracts of 29 indigenous medicinal plant species were tested for their acaricidal bioactivity against the two spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae adults at the laboratory. Fourteen methanol plant extracts caused significant mortality in mites. This is the first report for the potential effect on survival of mites for 27 tested endemic plant species. Methanol whole plant extracts (WPEs) of Lotus carmeli, Alchemilla diademata, Eryngium deserlorum and aqueous fruit extracts (FrEs) of Melia azedarach caused toxic effects against the adult mites in the range of 41-46% mortality. The methanol WPE of L. carmeli and the aqueous FrE of M. azedarach (1:5) caused the highest mite mortality of 43.55% and 45.55%, respectively and each was used as reference sample for potential acaricidal activity in the methanol and aqueous treatment groups. The latter extract was not significantly different in its effect from aqueous extracts of M. azedarach leaf extract (LE) and Achillea damascena WPE. Methanol extracts of Salvia rubifolia flowers and Calendula palestina FrE were found to be more active against the adult mite than their extracts of other plant parts as leaves and flowers, respectively. The former two extracts, flower extracts of Anthemis scariosa, Echinops gaillardoti, Nepeta curviflora, and Ranunculus cuneatus, leaves and stems extract of An. scariosa and WPEs of Melissa inodora, Ranunuculus myosuroides, Origanum libanoticum and Ac. damascena were found to be comparable in their acaricidal activity to that of the whole plant extract of L. carmeli. Thus, these bioactive extracts of some local plant species can cause toxicity to adult T. urticae mites and consequently could be an alternative control for mite pests.
