“…All samples were resistant to permethrin. However, a large variation in the tolerance to this insecticide was observed between samples (Daaboub et al 2008). The results of the present study validate and reveal that the early detection of esterase and monooxygenase could be a significant approach for mosquito control, which can be employed in field trials.…”

In this paper, we have studied the efficacy of Gokilaht-S 5EC (d,d-trans-cyphenothrin), a synthetic pyrethroid, when applied on all larval instars of Culex quinquefasciatus Say in laboratory conditions. We could observe this with six statistically significant concentrations at 0.0005, 0.0025, 0.075, 0.075, 0.1, and 0.2 microL/L, respectively. The esterase was detected by SDS-PAGE analysis and monooxygenase with microtiter plate assay. The esterase and monooxygenase were detected at concentrations of 0.005 and 0.075 microL/L, respectively. The outcome of these assays was discussed and we could see a pattern for early detection spectra to be proposed with these findings.

“…The introduction of novel, less persistent chemicals such as organophosphates, pyrethroids and avermectin derivates did not solve the major problem of resistance (Alves et al 2010;Daaboub et al 2008;Lima et al 2011). This undesirable characteristic, in combination with concerns on public health risks, emerged the development of new, environmentally sound and biodegradable products.…”

Essential oils of indigenous in Greece six Juniperus taxa

et al. 2011

The chemical composition of 14 essential oils (EOs), obtained from various parts (leaves, fruits, wood) of the six indigenous in Greece Juniperus family taxa, was determined by GC and GC/MS analysis. The insecticidal properties of these EOs were evaluated against Culex pipiens L. larvae of 3rd and early 4th instars, in order to delineate the relationship between the phytochemical content of the EOs and their larvicidal activities. The analytical data indicated that the EOs mainly consisted of monoterpenes, mostly cyclic and only occasionally aliphatic, and to a lesser percent, of diterpenes. The larvicidal bioassays against C. pipiens larvae revealed that the most active EO was derived from the wood of Juniperus drupacea and contains mainly non-oxygenated monoterpenes and a significant amount of diterpenes, displaying the highest chemodiversity. Its initial LC(50) value was 26.47 mg L(-1). On the contrary, the EO isolated from J. phoenicea berries, which consisted of monoterpenes (non-oxygenated, cyclic), was the less active displaying an LC(50) value of 96.69 mg L(-1). In respect to the contained phytochemicals, myrcene was assayed as the most toxic, displaying an LC(50) value of 33.83 mg L(-1), while the four isomers of pinene abundant in all EOs were less active exhibiting LC(50) values ranging from 70.40 to 94.88 mg L(-1). Results herein reveal that the EOs isolated from the studied Juniperus family taxa represent an inexpensive source of natural mosquito control mixtures.

“…Resistance to insecticides has been reported among a large number of vectors of diseases, including the Cx. pipiens [4]. DDT, an organochlorine, shares a distinctive steric profile with pyrethroid acidic moieties [5]and resistance to DDT often provides crossresistance to pyrethroids [6].…”
