Evaluation of Larvicidal Activity of Annona Reticulata Leaves Against Filarial Vector Mosquito, Culex Quinquefasciatus Say
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Mosquitoes comprises the most important single group of insects in terms of public health, which transmits a number of diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, japanese encephalitis, etc. causing millions of deaths every year. Repeated use of synthetic insecticides for mosquito control has disrupted natural biological control systems and has led to resurgences in mosquito populations. It has also resulted in the development of resistance, undesirable effects on non-target organisms and fostered environmental and human health concern. This initiated a search for alternative control measures. Plants are a rich source of bioactive chemicals and they may be an alternative source of mosquito control agents. Natural products of plant origin with insecticidal properties have been tried in the recent past for control of a variety of insect pests and vectors(9).
