Activity of Otostegia fruticosa (Lamiaceae) Leaves Extracts Against Lymphatic Filariasis Vector, Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae)

“…A remarkable decrease in the hatchability percentages of eggs laid by females resulted from treated larvae was also noticed. These results are consistent with those obtained by many authors using different plant extracts against different mosquito species by Jeyabalan et al (2003), Nathan et al (2006a&b), Pavela (2007), Coria et al (2008), Hasaballah (2018) and Shehata (2019).…”

“…Culex pipiens L. is reported as one of the most widely distributed mosquitoes worldwide (Shehata 2019). Culex pipiens or the house mosquito is widely distributed in the urban and peri-urban areas (Bernard et al, 2001;Cetin et al, 2013).…”

“…For mosquito control, immature stages (eggs, larvae, and pupae) are usually targeted by synthetic insecticides (Shehata 2019). Although highly efficacious of these insecticides, mosquito control is facing a threat due to the development of resistance to these chemical insecticides resulting in rebounding vectorial capacity (Liu et al, 2006;Bream et al, 2018), besides its hazards on human health, non-target organisms, and the environment.…”

Larvicidal and repellent potential of Sesamum indicum hull Peels Extracts Against Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae)

“…Killing larvae as well as preventing bites of Culex pipiens are the more effective ways to reduce disease transmission (Shehata, 2019). The susceptibility of the 3 rd instar larvae of Cx.…”

Enhancement of photocatalytic and biological activities of chitosan/activated carbon incorporated with TiO2 nanoparticles

“…After 10 minutes, the treated pigeons were placed in the cages containing 50 C. pipiens starved females for three hours. Each test was repeated three times to get a mean value of repellent activity (Shehata 2019). After treatments, the number of unfed females were counted and calculated according: Repellency % = (%A -%B / 100 -% B) x 100 where: A = percent of unfed females in treatment.…”
