“…stephensi at 4 mL/m 2 at 72 h. Although the insecticidal properties of the tested oils have already been established in other insects by previous researchers (Nerio et al , 2010), available work on the control of housefly larvae and pupae is insufficient for any meaningful comparisons with findings from this study. However, the present study found its M. piperita formulation (LC 50 in the range of 1–2 µg/cm 2 ) to perform on a par in housefly control with chemical larvicides, such as novaluron [LC 50 : 1.66 mg/kg; LC 90 : 8.25 mg/kg (Cetin et al , 2006)] and benzoylureas [90–100% mortality at 100 mg/L (Grosscurt & Tipker, 1980)]. This is a very encouraging observation because it suggests that botanical products can effectively replace harmful chemical insecticides.…”

The essential oils of six plant species [peppermint, Mentha piperita, and bergamot mint, Mentha citrata (both, Lamiales: Lamiaceae); blue gum, Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtales: Myrtaceae); lemongrass, Cymbopogon citratus, and khus grass, Vetiver zizanoides (both, Poales: Poaceae), and turmeric, Curcuma longa (Ziniberales: Zingiberaceae)] were screened for repellent, larvicidal and pupicidal activities against the housefly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae). Subsequently, emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations of the two most effective oils were prepared and tested in the laboratory as well as in the field. In repellency bioassays, M. piperita (RC(84) , 61.0 µg/cm(2) ) was found to be most effective, followed by E. globulus (RC(84) , 214.5 µg/cm(2) ) and C. citratus (RC(84) , 289.2 µg/cm(2) ). Formulated M. piperita and E. globulus showed RC(84) values of 1.6 µg/cm(2) and 4.1 µg/cm(2) , respectively. Formulated M. piperita and E. globulus achieved larval mortality (LC(50) ) in 72 h at 5.12 µg/cm(2) and 6.09 µg/cm(2) , respectively. In pupicidal bioassays, crude oils of M. piperita and E. globulus suppressed the emergence of adult flies by 100%. Field experiments with the M. piperita formulation showed reductions in fly density (number of flies/h) of 96% on treated cattle and 98% on treated plots. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of EC formulations of selected essential oils in reducing housefly populations in field conditions.

“…However, the overuse of these insecticides has led to the development of resistance in mosquito populations, which can be caused by mechanisms such as the intensification of carboxyl-cholinesterase activity, resulting in resistance to multiple classes of insecticides ( 34 ). Insecticides such as benzoylurea and the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Israelensis, which acts as a larvicide, have a limited impact on mosquito populations ( 35 , 36 ). Changes in the natural or human-made environment can significantly impact vector biology, leading to the disruption of original habitats, an increase in vector populations, and the spread of vector-borne diseases.…”

Background: Larvicidal agents can be produced using microbial resources, which are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and economical. The study's goal was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of metabolites isolated from Nocardia (N. fluminea, N. soli and N. pseudobrasiliensis) and Streptomyces (S. alboflavus) bacterial species against Anopheles stephensi. Methods: Four metabolites isolated from Nocardia and Streptomyces strains were exanimated for larvicidal activity. The experiments were performed for 24, 48, and 72 hours. 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 µl of Actinobacteria metabolites were added to 100 cc of dechlorinated water. Fourth-stage larvae were placed in dechlorinated water as a control. LC50 and LC90 were calculated using toxicity data and analyzed. Results: All metabolites had a statistically significant influence on mosquito larvae (P< 0.05). At 24, 48, and 72 hours, the LC50 for N2 (N. fluminea) was 417, 386, and 370 ppm, respectively, and the LC90 was 650, 595, and 561 ppm. Moreover, LC50 for N4 (N. soli) was 389, 376, and 347 and LC90 were 591, 565, and 533 and LC50 for N5 (N. pseudobrasiliensis) was 390, 357, and 341 ppm and LC90 were 589, 532 ppm. In addition, LC50 for S921 (S. alboflavus) was 484, 416, and 382 ppm, and LC90 was 701, 612, and 574 ppm. Conclusion: The four bacterial metabolites tested in our study were found to have a notable effect on the mortality rate of Anopheles stephensi larvae, indicating their potential as natural larvicides. This is an effective technique for controlling Anopheles stephensi that has no detrimental environmental impact.

Juvenoids are juvenile hormone (JH) mimetics, with specific structural features and defined molecular size that disrupt the target insect development. Juvenoid activity (= JH-type activity) of various isoprenoid-based derivatives as insecticidal candidates of the insect growth disruptors (IGDs) type were rated against the house fly, Musca domestica L. The epoxidized decenyl and nonenyl phenyl ether derivatives have more active compounds than those of both parent alkoxidized or olefinic structures. The highest juvenoid potency was shown by 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl ethers of 8,9-epoxy-5,9-dimethy1-3,8-decadiene. Qualitative structure-activity relationships are offered to relate the chemical structure criteria to observed juvenoid-related activity. Differences in activity among the reported isoprenoid-based derivatives were qualitatively rationalized. This study advances understanding of the structural qualifications and activity determinants of isoprenoid juvenoids, which is important for the development of new filth flies eco-friendly insecticides.
