“…In addition to the previous presented chemical and pharmacological works on the search for antiplasmodial extracts and compounds from mushrooms, few investigations have been done on the evaluation of their insecticidal activity. The works done by Sivanandhan et al (2018) Additionally, more recent investigations of the methanol extract of Psathyrella candolleana against C. quinquefasciatus and Anopheles stephensi showed good larvicidal activity with LC 50 and LC 90 values of 166.713 and 259.17 ppm, respectively, against the third instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus after 24 hours of treatment, as well as 88% ovicidal activity against C. quinquefasciatus eggs at 500 ppm concentration 120 h after treatment (Sivanandhan et al, 2019).…”

Mushrooms represent a large family of fleshy fungi that have been of high interest since ancient ages due to their medicinal and nutritional importance. Therefore, it can represent a significant source of bioactive compounds in malaria control. The few numbers of studies on in vitro antiplasmodial and insecticidal properties of their extracts and chemical constituents led to interesting results reported in numerous scientific publications. This review aims to provide a comprehensive compilation of literature up to 2021 on the antiplasmodial, insecticidal as well as cytotoxic chemical constituents of medicinal mushrooms that can help in the management of malaria both against the parasite Plasmodium falciparum and the mosquitoe Anopheles stephensis acting as a vector of malaria through its bites. For this purpose, some searches have been done in some online libraries using keywords like Basidiomycete, mushroom, malaria, Plasmodium, Anopheles and antiplasmodial without language restriction. Among the reported compounds, 51 selected ones displayed significant antiplasmodial potency with IC50 values lower than 10 μM against P. falciparum strains sensitive or resistant to chloroquine. For instance, ganoderic acid AW1 demonstrated a strong antiplasmodial activity with IC50 of 257.8 nM against P. falciparum D6, while strong activities were displayed by ganoweberianones A (IC50 = 0.050 μM) and B (IC50 = 0.46 μM) against P. falciparum K1. Moreover, some mushroom methanol extracts demonstrated good larvicidal and ovicidal activities against Anopheles stephensis. This paper provides further insights into the development of new antiplasmodial drugs or new potent eco-friendly pesticides to control mosquito vectors.

“…Application of synthetic larvicides in aquatic ecosystems may cause harmful effects on human beings and many other non-target organisms. In search of alternative pesticides many investigators have explored the beneficial role of plant extracts, plant compounds, actinomycetes sea weeds and mushroom extracts against mosquito larvae (Campbell and Sullivan, 1993;Thangam and Kathiresan, 1994;Pandey et al, 2007;Nazar et al, 2009;Ganesan et al, 2018;Darvin et al, 2019;Sivanandhan et al, 2019;Monisha et al 2020). Many essential oils showed good larvicidal activities against mosquito species and are reported as environmentally safe insecticides (Corbet et al, 1995;Pitasawat et al, 2007).…”

Mosquitoes occupy the first place among the most dangerous insects in the world, because they kill more than five lakhs people every year around the world by transmitting lethal pathogens. People use many methods and devices to combat the mosquito problem. Chemical pesticides are commonly used to control mosquitoes and their bites around the world. Since the last two decades public has started to avoid the use of synthetic chemicals for mosquito management due to their harmful effects on environment and human health. Pesticide resistance in mosquitoes is a major side effect of synthetic chemical applications. Volatile oils or essential oils obtained from green plants are considered as reliable alternatives for mosquito management. Several hundred volatile oils and volatile compounds have been tested against eggs, larva, pupa and adults of various vector mosquito species. Oils, extracts and powders of leaf, flowers and bark of many aromatic plants are being used as mosquito repellents in many countries for many centuries. Scientific validation of biological activities of several botanicals has been intensified in the last three decades and several herbal mosquito control products have been commercialized. The aim of the present review article is to provide up-to-date information on biological activities of plant volatile oils and volatile compounds against vector mosquitoes and to highlight the promising volatile compounds for the development of new herbal mosquito control products.
