Mosquitoes can transfer many adverse diseases to human and animals therefore, there is a need to fight their spread. Among promising larvicidal sources is the use of plant extracts, which will play an important role in the future. This study was conducted to assess the larvicidal activity of Ferula hermonis Boiss,Achillea millefolium, Salvia officnalis, Psidium guaja and Matricaria chamomilla extract against Culex pipiens. The plant materials were extracted with hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol using a Soxhlet extractor. The extracts were evaluated for larvicidal activity against Cx. pipiens the mortality was monitored after 24 and 48 h of exposure. None of the extracts tested showed larvicidal acitivties except M. chamomilla. The ethyl acetate extract showed the most promising larvicidal activity with LC50 values of 287.1 and 209.4 ppm after 24 and 48 h of exposure, respectively. Treatment of the eggs with different concentrations of the active extract decreased the hatchability of the eggs dose dependently from 95 to 86.49%. Similarly, the pupal duration increased in treated groups. The larval period lasted for 12 d, whereas that of the control group lasted for 10 d. Furthermore, the pupal period lasted 3 d (control 2 d) in treated groups. The data also revealed a significant decrease in the growth index in treated groups (0.00–7.53) than that of the control (8.5). The GC–MS analysis revealed the presence of 1.6.10‐dodecatriene, 7,11‐dimethyl‐3‐methylene (89.68%), 1,6‐cyclodecadiene, 1‐methyl‐5‐methylene‐8‐(1‐methylethyl)‐, [S‐(E,E)] (6.34%), 2H‐pyran −3‐ol (4.04%), and 2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one (0.079%).

“…Initially, a pre-experiment was conducted regarding the selection of test concentrations of each insecticide. The larvae were exposed to a wide range of test concentrations to determine mortality, and then a narrower concentration range was selected as accurate test concentrations for bioassays [30]. The original insecticides to be tested were formulated into a stock solution and then diluted into five different test concentrations: DDVP (0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2) mg/l; propoxur (0.28, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, 1.35) mg/l; cypermethrin (5, 10, 20, 40, 80) μg/l; deltamethrin (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40) μg/l; Bti (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16) mg/l, with repeated 3 times per concentration.…”

BackgroundTo investigate mosquito larval habitats and resistance to common insecticides in areas with high incidence rates of mosquito-borne diseases in Jining, Shandong Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the future prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases and the rational use of insecticides. Methods and resultsFrom June to September 2018, mosquito habitat characteristics and species compositions in Jintun town were studied through a cross-sectional survey. Larvae and pupae were collected in different habitats using the standard dipping technique. A total of 7,815 mosquitoes, comprising 7 species from 4 genera, were collected. Among them, Culex pipiens pallens (n = 5,336, 68.28%) was the local dominant species and found in all four habitats (rice paddies, irrigation channels, water containers, drainage ditches). There were 1,708 Cx. tritaeniorhynchus (21.85%), 399 Anopheles sinensis (5.11%), 213 Armigeres subalbatus (2.72%), 124 Aedes albopictus (1.59%), and 35 other (Cx. bitaeniorhynchus and Cx. halifaxii) (0.45%) mosquito samples collected. Spearman correlation analysis was employed to evaluate the relationship between larval density and the physicochemical characteristics of the breeding habitat. It was found that the larval density of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus correlated positively with water depth (r = 0.927 p = 0.003), the larval density of An. sinensis correlated positively with dissolved oxygen (DO) (r = 0.775 p = 0.041) and the larval density of Cx. p. pallens correlated positively with ammonia nitrogen (r = 0.527 p = 0.002). Resistance bioassays were carried out on the dominant populations of Cx. p. pallens: mosquitoes presented very high resistance to cypermethrin and deltamethrin, moderate PLOS ONE PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.

Introduction:We report the larvicidal activity of two formulations from Amanita muscaria against Culex quinquefasciatus, as well as the viability of the aqueous extract after storage. Methods: The larvicidal activity of aqueous extract and powder from A. muscaria, and the viability of the aqueous extract after storage, were evaluated. Results: The aqueous extract caused larval deaths, which varied from 16.4% to 88.4%. The effi ciency of the powder varied from 29.2% to 82.8%. Storage did not interfere with the larvicidal effi ciency of the aqueous extract of A. muscaria. Conclusions: These results show the potential of A. muscaria to control C. quinquefasciatus.Keywords: Bioinsecticide. Fly agaric. Filariasis vector.The mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823 (Diptera, Culicidae), is the main vector of the human parasitic roundworm, Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold, 1877) (Spirurida, Onchocercidae) on the American continent (1) . Reisen (2) reported that this mosquito can also act as a vector of arboviruses, such as West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis.This species is usually controlled by the use of synthetic chemical insecticides. The use of these products can cause problems, such as human and environmental contamination, as well as the development of resistance in insect populations (3) .Plant-based products are the most recently researched alternatives, showing great results in mosquito control (4) (5) . However, although there are few studies that investigate the use of fungi as a control measure, some fungal species have shown promising results against insects (6) (7) .Among the fungal substances known to be toxic to insects, ibotenic acid and muscimol are both found in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Amanita muscaria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Agaricales, Amanitaceae) (8) . This fungus is generally found in temperate areas, and in Brazil, has been reported from São Paulo to the southern part of the country in association with plantations of Pinus spp. or Eucalyptus spp. (9) . Although A. muscaria possesses substances that are toxic to insects, there are no studies regarding the impact of this fungal species against culicids.Thus, this work aims to report the toxicity of two formulations, an aqueous extract, and a powder, from A. muscaria against C. quinquefasciatus larvae, as well as to evaluate the ability to store the aqueous extract of this fungal species.The larvae of C. quinquefasciatus used in this study were obtained from a laboratory colony, and raised according to the methodology proposed by Gerber (10) , differing only in the diet offered to the larvae. In this investigation, the larvae were fed with minced fi sh feed.Amanita muscaria specimens were collected in July in a grove of Pinus elliottii Engelmann, 1880 ( Pinales, Pinaceae) in Capão do Leão, Brazil ( 31°48′08.7″S, 52°24′51.2″W). Basid iomata were collected when their rings were completely opened, and were subsequently put in an incubator at 45°C for 96h. After dehydration, basidiomata were milled in an electric mill with a mesh of 0.5mm.Crude ...
