“…Mehra and Hiradhar (2002) revealed that the crude acetone extract of Cuscuta hyalina was an effective oviposition deterrent against C. quinquefasciatus at a concentration of 80 ppm. Further, Coria et al (2008) reported the oviposition deterrency of Melia azadarach leaf extract against A. aegypti. In the present investigation too, oviposition deterrent test indicated that S. mauritiana extract has good repellency followed by S. canadensis, E. ridleyi, and E. jambolana against three mosquito species.…”

In mosquito control programs, insecticides of botanical origin have the potential to eliminate eggs, larvae, and adults. So, the larvicidal, ovicidal, and oviposition-deterrent activities of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts of the leaves of Eugenia jambolana, Solidago canadensis, Euodia ridleyi, and Spilanthes mauritiana were assayed against the three vector mosquito species, namely Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, and Culex quinquefasciatus. The larval bioassay was conducted following the World Health Organization method. The maximum larval mortality was found with ethyl acetate extract of S. mauritiana against the larvae of A. stephensi, A. aegypti, and C. quinquefasciatus with LC 50 values of 11.51, 28.1, 14.10 ppm, respectively. The mean percent hatchability of the ovicidal activity was observed at 48-h post-treatment. The percent hatchability was found to be inversely proportional to the concentration of the extract and directly proportional to the number of eggs. The flower head extract of S. mauritiana gave 100 % mortality followed by E. ridleyi, S. canadensis, and E. jambolana against the eggs of the three mosquito vectors. For oviposition-deterrent effect, out of the five concentrations tested (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 ppm), the concentration of 100 ppm showed a significant egg laying-deterrent capacity. The oviposition activity index value of E. jambolana, E. ridleyi, S. canadensis, and S. mauritiana against A. aegypti, A. stephensi, C. quinquefasciatus at 100 ppm were −0.71, −0.71, −0.90, −0.93, −0.85, −0.91, −1, −1, −0.71, −0.85, −1, and −1, respectively. These results suggest that the leaf/flower extracts of certain local plants have the potential to be developed as possible eco-friendly means for the control of mosquitoes.

“…Furthermore, ethanol extract of neem seed at 0.1 mg mL -1 caused 49% mortality in adults of T. vaporariorum, ethanolic extract has been reported as effective in other pests (Simmonds et al, 2002;Coria et al, 2008 Cubillo et al, 1999).…”

“…Por otro lado, el extracto etanólico de semilla de nim a 0.1 mg mL -1 causó 49% de mortalidad en adultos de T. vaporariorum, el extracto etanólico ha sido reportado como eficiente en otras plagas (Simmonds et al, 2002;Coria et al 2008). La mortalidad obtenida es intermedia entre PHC Neeem y Neem Oil spray.…”

Los insecticidas químicos para controlar Trialeurodes vaporariorum West. han sido prácticamente la única herramienta utilizada, sin embargo la problemática global de contaminación ambiental y presión selectiva a insecticidas, ha fomentado un cambio en la forma de manejar las plagas más ecológicas y eficaces. El nim o neem Azadirachta indica es una opción como insecticidas botánicos, sus metabolitos ya se han comercializado en diferentes formulaciones, sin embargo es necesario evaluar su acción insecticida e insectistática. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar el efecto en la mortalidad, repelencia y oviposición de productos formulados de A. indica. En este estudio se probaron cuatro formulaciones a base de aceite de nim en adultos de T. vaporariorum. Los productos que mostraron la mortalidad más alta fueron Neem Oil Spray y PHC Neeem, a una concentración de 0.6 mg mL-1. El mejor efecto repelente fue de Neem Oil Spray (82.6%), PHC Neeem (72.3%), Biosave Neem (70.8%), y Neemix 4.5 (59.9%); los dos primeros muestran mayor persistencia con efecto similar a los 3 días de evaluación. El mejor inhibidor de la oviposición fue Neem Oil Spray (99.6% utilizando 1 mg mL-1), Biosave Neem (92.8%), PHC Neeem (82.6%), y Neemix 4.5 (57%). En contraste, Biosave Neem y Neemix 4.5 estimularon la oviposición en concentraciones de 0.01-0.3 mg mL-1 y PHC Neeem a 0.035 mg mL-1. La concentración de aceite en la formulación es determinante en el efecto, pues a mayor proporción, la formulación se hace más persistente, lo contrario la hace más polar y aumenta su capacidad sistémica.

“…A variety of secondary metabolites in the extracts obtained from different parts of a whole range of plants have been found to kill adult mosquitoes or reduce/inhibit feeding, egg laying, growth and development of mosquito larvae and pupae [13,14]. The phytochemicals derived from plant resources can act as larvicides, adulticides, repellent and ovipositional attractants, having deterrent activities in different researchers and may be alternative sources of mosquito larval control agents [15][16][17][18].…”
