This study aims to: (a) analyze the effect of giving a combination of biolarvicides of citronella essential oil and clove leaves on the development of Ae. aegypti, (b) analyzing the killing power of the combination of citronella (sw) and clove leaf (dc) biolarvicides against Ae. aegypti, (c) analyzing the pathogenicity test of the combination of citronella and clove leaf biolarvicides against the larvae of Ae. Agypti. This biolarvicide combination test was carried out on the larvae of Ae. aegypti instar iii with treatment variations in the concentration combination “SW 2% (P)”, “SW 0.75%” + “DC1.25% (P1)”, “SW 1%” + “DC 1% (P2)”, “SW 1.25%” + “DC 0.75% (P3)” , “DC 2% (P4)”. and Water control (P-). Themepos (P+). Parameters observed included symptoms of mortality percentage and time of death. Larval mortality was observed at 6, 12, 18, 24 hours after application. The difference in the proportion of mortality between concentration levels and control was tested by the chi-square method while the lt50 method was tested by probit analysis. The results showed that each combination of test materials did not have a significant difference in effect as a biolarvicide with a significance level of 0.05. The conclusion of this study was that the five concentrations of the test material did not give a significant difference in effect as a biolarvicide. This indicates that the essential oils of citronella and clove leaves, either applied singly or in combination, have the same larvicidal effectiveness as temephos in killing the larvae of Ae. aegypti. Time of death (lt50) citronella extract 12.72 hours, clove leaf 6.71 hours and the combination 6.38 hours.Keywords: Biolarvicides; effectiveness; concentration; pathogenicity

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are worldwide soil-dwelling insect parasitic nematodes. They are potential pest bio-control agents a key component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. This study aimed to characterize and evaluate the pathogenicity of an EPN isolate from Kenya. The nematode was isolated from soils using insect bait technique and both morphological and molecular identification was performed. Efficacy of the isolate was evaluated against Tomato leafminer larvae (Tuta absoluta Meyrick.) using dose-based treatments of 0-control, 100, 150, 200, and 250 infective juveniles (IJs/ml). Morphological analysis revealed body length (L) of 835(659-987) µm and 1781 (1297-2097) µm from fresh IJs and males respectively. Males lacked a mucron. The isolate was characterized by the partial sequence length of 877 bp of the ITS region. Blastn results indicated the EPN isolate had a similarity match of 81-92% with Afro-tropical Steinernema species. It matched with Steinernema sp. (AY230186.1) from Kenya at 92% and Sri Lanka (AY230184.1). Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate together with Steinernema sp. (AY230186.1) and (AY230184.1) with a bootstrap value of 100%. Maximum mean larval mortality (80%; 96%) was achieved 24 and 48 h post-treatment at concentration 150 IJs/ml. All nematode concentrations achieved over 50% mean mortality after 24 h period. There was a significant difference (P = 0.001) between doses 150 and 200 IJs/ml. From the study, it was concluded that the nematode isolate was Steinernema sp now referred to as Steinernema sp. Kalro (Genebank Accession MW151701). The EPN has the potential for development as a biological control agent against T. absoluta.

The aim of this research was to determine the inhibitory effect of vapor phase of five essential oils (EOs) on the growth of seven strains of Penicillium commune isolated from moldy milk products. Another objective was to determine the minimum inhibitory doses (in vitro and probit analyses) of EOs, which at concentration 625 μL.L-1 of air completely inhibited the growth of all strains. The antifungal activity was evaluated by the micro-atmosphere method. The essential oils used in this study were extract of plants from family Myrtaceae. Only one essential oil – clove (from Syzygium aromaticum L.; leaves) completely inhibited the growth of all strains during cultivation at 25 °C and 5 °C. Eucalyptus essential oil (from Eucaliptus globulus; leaves), tea tree essential oil (from Melaleuca alternifolia Cheel; leaves), cajeput essential oil (from Melaleuca leucadendra L.; leaves and twigs), niaouli essential oil (from Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S.T.Blake; leaves) have different effects on the growth of P. commune strains. The order of tested essential oils according to the inhibition effect on the growth of the strains of P. commune (from the strongest to the weakest effect) was: clove > tea tree > cajeput > niaouli > eucalyptus. Clove EO that completely inhibited the growth of all strains was used to determine minimum inhibitory doses (MIDs). The MIDs were 125 µL.L-1 of air for two strains of P. commune and 250 µL.L-1 of air for five strains of P. commune on the 7th and 14th day of cultivation, also. Using probit analysis, predicted MIDs90 and MIDs50 were calculated. The MIDs90 were determined from 104.93 to 301.37 µL.L-1 of air.

The objective of the present work was to analyze the cytotoxic, antimicrobial activity and the action mechanism of the major component in of the Syzygium aromaticum essential oil obtained by supercritical CO2. In this work, gingival fibroblasts were exposed to the essential oil in different concentrations for one hour: 5 μL/ml, 7.5 μL/ml and 10 μL/ml. Culture medium was used as control. Cytotoxicity analysis was performed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT®) method. The susceptibility was evaluated on three microorganisms Candida albicans, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The statistical analyses showed significant difference in cell viability for the concentration of 10 μL/mL, as compared to the control group. As a result, the plant extract had no cytotoxicity at concentrations below 10 μL/mL in human gingival fibroblasts. The interaction mode of eugenol, the major compound and main component responsible for the biological activity of the essential oil was evaluated. The molecular docking of eugenol with important proteins of the metabolic pathway of the microorganisms C. albicans, E. coli and S. aureus were performed. The results demonstrated that the compound is capable of interacting with catalytic residues of the enzymes and forming an energetically favorable system with such proteins. The results of binding free energy obtained demonstrate this capacity. For the eugenolN-myristoyltransferase (C. albicans) system, the value of ΔGbind was –19.01 kcal/mol, for Enoyl reductase (E. Coli) ΔGbind was equal to –11.31 kcal/mol and for SarA (S. aureus) ΔGbind was –13.58 kcal/mol.

SUMMARYMethanol-water (4:1, v/v) crude extracts (50 mg mL−1) of 25 Jamaican medicinal plants were screened in vitro for anthelmintic activity using infective third-stage larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis. The most effective extract was further chemically scrutinized to isolate and identify the source of the bioactivity, and the efficacy of this compound was compared with ivermectin. Eosin exclusion (0·1 mg mL−1) served as the indicator of mortality in all bioassays. A crude extract of Eryngium foetidum (Apiaceae) was significantly (Probit Analysis, P<0·05) more potent than the other plant extracts, taking 18·9 h to kill 50% (LT50) of the larvae. Further, the petrol extract of E. foetidum was significantly more effective (Probit Analysis, P<0·05) at killing the larvae (LT50, 4·7 h) than either its methanol–water or dichloromethane extract. The latter two effected less than 1% larval mortality after 120 h. With bioassay-driven column chromatography of the petrol extract, trans-2-dodecenal (eryngial) was identified and chemically isolated as the main anthelmintic compound in E. foetidum. There was a significant difference between the 24 h LD50 values (mm) of trans-2-dodecenal (0·461) and ivermectin (2·251) but there was none between the 48 h LD50 values (mm): trans-2-dodecenal (0·411) and ivermectin (0·499) in vitro.
