“…Adult mosquitoes were kept in wooden cages and daily provided with cotton pads soaked in 10% sucrose solution for a period of 3-4 days after emergence. After this period, the females were allowed to take a blood meal from a pigeon host, which is necessary for laying eggs (Haldar et al 2014). Early third larval instar was chosen for subsequent studies.…”

Due to the increased insecticide resistance, control of mosquito vector encounters a number of major difficulties. In this respect, searching for new compounds from nature for their insecticidal activities may offer an effective tool for mosquito vector control. In this study the biological activity, reproductive potential, and repellency effect of methanolic, aqueous, and petroleum ether extracts of C. proximus against the malaria mosquito, An. pharoensis was evaluated. Based on LC 50 values, the toxicity may be arranged as the following: petroleum ether extract (LC 50 = 200.1ppm) > methanol extract (LC 50 = 216.1ppm) > aqueous extract (LC 50 = 848.6ppm). The biological activities were significantly (P<0.01) affected by different tested extracts, especially at higher concentrations. The female fecundity and the egg-hatchability were remarkably decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the repellency percentages were influenced by tested extracts at any concentration used and the highest repellent action was recorded for methanol extract followed by petroleum ether extract. In conclusion, these findings may contribute insight into the possibility of a novel insecticidal development for use in mosquito control programs.

“…It was reported that smokes of Ficus krishnae had a toxic efficacy against Anopheles stephensi Liston and Cx. vishnui group of mosquitoes (Haldar et al, 2014). The smoke obtained from various solvent extracts from Lantana camara leaves showed different levels of repellence against female anopheles mosquitos (Akumu et al, 2014).…”

To find environment-friendly and low pest resistance natural mosquitocide, the bio-effects of smokes and oils obtained from leaves of Eucalyptus globulus and Ocimum basilicum against Culex pipiens (Linn.) were investigated. An influence of smokes and oils was tested on the loss ratio of eggs, larvae, pupae, and adult mortality of 1st and 2nd generations of Culex pipiens. Morphological changes of the 2nd generation, including antennae and mouthparts of larvae and adults, were examined by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The smokes of O. basilicum and E. globulus reduced the ratio value of the insect, especially the eggs' number and adults significantly within 2 generations that lasted 82 days. The impact of O. basilicum smokes on the larval molting and mortality rate was 83.15 and 95.05%, respectively, compared to 29.85 and 82.43 % for E. globulus. The lethal effect of O. basilicum smoke on adults had a loss rate of 100% in both generations than 75.86% by E. globulus. Essential oils from O. basilicum and E. globulus showed a severe and rapid killing effect of C. pipiens within 8 days with a loss ratio of 99.47 and 81.38% of larvae from eggs, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy showed that both smokes could cause prominent malformation to the larval antennae, siphon, and adult mouthparts. In conclusion, either E. globulus or O. basilicum smokes in the long term or either of their oils in the short term could be used as natural repellent agents against Culex pipiens.

“…Gelidus (Theobald) and the synthesized AgNPs was presented by Velayutham et al (2013). The study carried out by Haldar et al (2014) on extracts from F. krishnae (L.) revealed the efficacy of these extracts as natural alternatives to control the mosquito population. Similarly, the susceptibility of Anopheles stephensi (Liston) larvae towards water extract from Ficus religiosa (Linn) and the synthesized ZnO NPs and TiO 2 NPs solutions was reported by Soni and Dhiman (2020).…”

The house fly, Musca domestica (L.) has a worldwide distribution and acts as a source of nuisance and a common vector for several diseases in humans and livestock. The present study aimed to investigate the biological activity of plant extracts (Juniperus procera and Ficus palmata) along with their synthesized silver nanoparticle (AgNP) solutions against the second larval stage of house flies. Larval bioassay experiments were conducted using feeding and dipping methods at various concentrations. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by visual observation, UV–visible and FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed biochemical effects of the tested extracts on the treated larvae and different growth stages of the house fly. Using the feeding and dipping methods, the concentration required to inhibit 50% of the adult fly emergence (IC50 value) was 2.62% and 4.19% with J. procera and 0.71% and 1.29% with F. palmata, respectively. The crude extracts mixed with silver nanoparticles showed significantly decreased IC50 values at 1.09% and 1.23% for J. procera and 0.32% and 0.45% for F. palmata using the feeding and dipping methods, respectively. Further, the feeding method with both crude extracts showed about 1.60 and 1.80 times more effective control against the larval stages compared to that in case of the dipping method. In addition, the F. palmata extract was about 3.66 and 3.20‐fold more effective against flies compared to J. procera using the feeding and dipping method, respectively. Overall, this study suggests using of the tested extracts of plants as promising biological agents and safe options for sustainable pest management.
