“…This gradient of positive dependency between mortality and concentration is supported by previous studies showing that an increase in the concentration of aqueous Blighia sapida leaf (Ubulom et al, 2012), Citrus sinensis peel extract (Sattar et al, 2016), and Melia azedarach ethanolic extracts (Al-Mehmadi and Al-Khalaf, 2010) resulted in increased mortality in C. quinquefasciatus. The same was reported in Aedes aegypti with ethanolic extracts from Delonix elata (Vasugi et al, 2013).…”

Arivoli et al., 2011). Thus, both vectors and vector-borne diseases have become challenging problems that have social and economic impacts (Raveen et al., 2014). Culex mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are pantropical pests that are likely the most abundant house mosquitoes prevailing in urban and rural areas (Samuel et al., 2007; Wajiha et al., 2017). Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) is the most dominant mosquito species in Pakistan (Ashfaq et al., 2014). It is a vector of filarial fever and Japanese encephalitis, and it is a major public health concern in many developing countries (Arivoli et al., 2011; Ashfaq and Ashfaq, 2012). One of the major strategies is to control the vector or immediate host, which can minimize the spread of disease, and this strategy may be applied against immature or adult insect stages. Chemical insecticides are commonly considered to be the most effective control strategy against mosquitoes. However, public concern has increased significantly regarding their negative effects, such as potential health hazards, water contamination, environmental pollution, toxicity to nontarget organisms, the development of resistance in insects, and residual effects (

A. aegypti, the primary carrier for dengue viruses that cause dengue fever and are widespread over large areas of the tropics and subtropics. The copepod, Acanthocyclops vernalis was collected from a pond located in Hail, a city in northwestern Saudi Arabia. A. aegypti colonies established from Laboratory of Public Health Pests, Jeddah Municipality, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In the laboratory, the predatory capacity of copepod predator A. vernalis tested on first and second instars of Aedes aegypti. A single adult female of A. vernalis was tested against 50 larvae of A. aegypti in case the presence and absence of an alternative food. Several doses of A. vernalis (10, 15, 20 and 25 adults) against 100 larvae of mosquito were tested also in case the presence and absence of an alternative food under laboratory conditions.

One of the main objectives of Sustainable development goals (SDGs) is to prevent the environment and public health by substantially reducing waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse by 2030. Another current concern is the overuse and misuse of synthetic larvicides which are the primary drivers in the burgeoning of insecticide-resistant vector species. Eutrophic water, lack of sanitation, inadequate infection prevention and control promote the spread of these vectors that are responsible for various severe diseases like Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Filariasis, etc. Mosquito species not responding to synthetic larvicides have developed resistance to them and the changing environment and is. an alarming situation if the proliferation is not regulated. The green waste comprising leaves, grass, flowers, , non-woody plants, , etc. containing high amount of lignocellulosic material. They can be converted into mulch in a short period. Following the investigations, we examine the natural products as larvicides. Green waste collected and segregated belonged to several families. They were extracted with two solvents and their larvicidal activities were observed on two most common mosquito species viz; Ae.aegypti and C.quinquefasciatus. The plant materials extracted with solvents manifest various degrees of larvicidal activities, the most promising results were drawn for acetone extracts of Alastonia scholaris against Cx. quinquefasciatus (LC50=1.76 mg/L, LC90=3.89 mg/L). For Ae.aegypti the best results were drawn from Ethyl acetate extracts of Azadirachta indica (LC50= 1.91 mg/L, LC90= 3.96 mg/L). Green waste is one of the best alternatives to synthetic larvicides as well as an innovative way to induce SDGs.
