Frequent Use

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an epidemic vector of several diseases such as dengue fever and yellow fever. Several pesticides are used to control the mosquito population. Because of their frequent use, some mosquitoes have developed resistance. In the present study, we evaluated the synergistic mosquito-repellent activity of essential oils from Pelargonium radula, Syzgium aromaticum and Citrus aurantifolia against Aedes aegypti by using Y-tube olfactometer. The oils was subsequently analyzed by using GC–MS. These results clearly reveal that the essential oil of C. aurantifolia served as the most potent repellent agent against Aedes aegypti . The results indicate that three constituents; limonene (19.58%) followed by β–pinene (17.12%), geraniol (13.23%) which comprise a large proportion of the C. aurantifolia are likely responsible for the observed repellent activity.

Control And Prevention

Dengue is the most important emerging tropical viral disease of humans in the world today. Aedes aegypti is a major mosquito vector responsible for transmitting many viral diseases and this mosquito that spreads major health problems like dengue fever. The resistance of Ae. aegypti to insecticides is already widespread and represents a serious problem for programmes aimed at the control and prevention of dengue in tropical countries. The search for compounds extracted from medicinal plant preparations as alternatives insecticide for mosquito control is in immediate need. Alternative approach for control Ae. aegypti dan virus dengue using the medicinal plant will be discussed in this paper.Key words: Medicinal plant, Aedes aegypti, dengue fever, dengue haemorragi fever, dengue shock syndrome

Recent Trends

Severe human diseases are spread by mosquitoes, causing millions of deaths every year. Many well-known and severe problems have been caused by the indiscriminate use of synthetic chemical insecticides, such as the residual insecticides for humans and environment and high operating cost in addition to the possibility of developing insect resistance.The larvicidal and delayed effects of the body wall extract of Holothuria scabra and leaves extract of Acalypha fruticosa against 4th instar larvae of mosquito, Aedes aegypti were evaluated. Ethanolic extract of H. scabra recorded more larvicidal efficiency(LC50, 79.31 ppm) than A. fruticosa leaves extract (152.86 ppm) by about 1.93 folds.Morphological features showed abnormalities on the larval and pupal stages with H. scabra and to less extent with A. fruticosa. Therefore, it is possible to build on the results of this study to use these two extracts to control of A. aegypti mosquitoes and in line with recent trends in adopting combat methods that are safe on humans and the environment.
