LARVICIDAL EFFICACY OF PLANT OILS AGAINST THE MALARIAL VECTOR, ANOPHELES STEPHENSI (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE)
Paulraj S.*
Abstract Malaria is a dreadful disease caused by female vector mosquito, Anopheles stephensi. Control of An. stephensi by various synthetic chemicals produced instant results, however, they cause severe and deleterious effects on human health too. Thus, in the present study, an attempt was made to study the mosquito larvicidal activity of selected plant oils against the 4th instar larvae of An. stephensi. The experimental data revealed that there was a significant larvicidal activity induced by the plant oils among the experimental larvae. Keywords: Plant oil, Anopheles stephensi, larvicidal activity, botanical control. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
