“…Moreover, there was a severe decrease in the percentage of adult emergence of M. domestica. These results are in a good agreement with those obtained on the same insect by several IGRs; such as: methoprene [51,52]; BAY SIR 8514 [53]; cyromazine [54]; Pyriproxyfen [55,56]; fenoxycarb [57]; RH-5849 [58]; and hexaflumuron [56]. All of these previously tested compounds are known as IGRs like the compound, flufenoxuron, which tested in the present investigation and showed more than 50% decline in pupation ( Table 6).…”

Following preliminary screening of 13 ethanolic plant extracts, belonging to 10 different families, a total of 11 extracts were subjected to detailed toxicity evaluation against the larval stage of the housefly, Musca domestica L. The larvicidal LC 50 values were < 100 ppm for Piper nigrum (50.1 ppm), Azadirachta indica (76.9 ppm), Conyza aegyptiaca (77.0 ppm) and Cichorium intybus (96.8 ppm); representing the highest potent extracts among the bioassayed candidates. Punica granatum extract exhibited the lowest toxicity (213.9 ppm). In comparison, commercial insecticides showed superior larvicidal toxicity; accounting to the following LC 50 values: 0.029, 0.03, 0.61 and 0.64 ppm for deltamethrin, methomyl, chlorpyrifos and flufenoxuron, respectively. Combining botanical extracts with insecticides, at equitoxic dosages (e.g., LC 25 values), induced potentiating effects for a 44 bioassayed mixtures against the housefly larvae. Moreover, mixing the insecticides at LC 0 (a concentration level causing no observed mortality) with the LC 50 of each of the plant extracts have resulted in 44 paired combinations. Mostly, the "synergistic factor; S.F." ranged between 1.6 -1.9; giving rise to high synergistic effects. Specifically, the synergistic effect was much pronounced for mixtures of the insecticide deltamethrin with different botanical extracts. Most of the tested toxicants induced different forms of developmental effects after exposure of 3 rd larval instars to sublethal concentrations (LC 25 ppm). Larvae treated with A. indica, Citrus aurantifolia, Eucalyptus globulus (leaves or fruits), P. granatum, Salix safsaf, Sonchus oleraceus, Zea mays, as well as the insecticides chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin and methomyl failed to develop into adult stages. Morphologically, there were different forms of pupal and adult abnormalities, where the treatments of P. granatum and S. oleraceus caused abnormal pupal size in addition to pupal-adult intermediate. In the resulted Musca domestica adults, the effects were seen as one-winged insects, small size, compressed body and abdomen elongation. Such deformations were attributed to treatments of C. intybus, C. aegyptiaca, Piper nigrum and the IGR flufenoxuron. The overall results of the present investigation reveal the broad-spectrum toxic properties of the tested plant extracts against Musca domestica larvae; which may encourage further research on housefly control in tropics using indigenous plants.

Effect of illumination on degradation of pyriproxyfen in water-sediment system

“…[44] Pyriproxyfen is an effective larvicide at 0.005–0.05 ppb for mosquitoes and a chemosterilant for tsetse flies. [45] Exposure to pyriproxyfen significantly reduces female fecundity in mosquitoes by interfering with egg maturation in females or through transfer to the larval habitat when eggs are laid. [46] Pyriproxyfen's excellent hazard profile (LD >5000 mg/kg, no genotoxic or reproductive toxicity observed up to 100 mg/kg, t 1/2 ~16 days in water) support its use as in the environment.…”

Chemosterilants for Control of Insects and Insect Vectors of Disease

Both historically and at present, vector control is the most generally effective means of controlling malaria transmission. Insecticides are the predominant method of vector control, but the sterile insect technique (SIT) is a complementary strategy with a successful track record in both agricultural and public health sectors. Strategies of genetic and radiation-induced sterilization of Anopheles have to date been limited by logistical and/or regulatory hurdles. A safe and effective mosquito chemosterilant would therefore be of major utility to future deployment of SIT for malaria control. Here we review the prior and current use of chemosterilants in SIT, and assess the potential for future research. Recent genomic and proteomic studies reveal opportunities for specific targeting of seminal fluid proteins, and the capacity to interfere with sperm motility and storage in the female.
