The mixture of cashew nut shell liquid and castor oil results in an efficient larvicide against Aedes aegypti that does not alter embryo-fetal development, reproductive performance or DNA integrity

Abstract: Dengue fever, chikungunya fever and Zika virus are epidemics in Brazil that are transmitted by mosquitoes, such as Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus. The liquid from shells of cashew nuts is attractive for its important biological and therapeutic activities, which include toxicity to mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. The present study evaluated the effects of a mixture of surfactants from natural cashew nutshell liquid and castor oil (named TaLCC-20) on the mortality of larvae and on the reproductive performance,… Show more

“…Photobleaching was assessed accordingly to Supporting Information, Section S1.3. Residual activity assays were conducted according to adapted methods of Vani et al, 31 using two different concentrations: LC 99‐24h (0.4 mg L −1 of curcumin), named DMC 1×, and 10× the LC 99‐24h (4 mg L −1 ), named DMC 10×. Groups of 15 larvae (L3) were placed into transparent plastic containers with 200 mL of DMC solution in the respective concentrations and exposed to light.…”

“…Dengue fever (DF), an ancient disease with a history of approximately 2000 years, is caused by four different but closely related dengue viruses (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4) and is mainly transmitted by female Aedes aegypti or female Aedes albopictus [ 1 , 2 ]. DF occurs in tropical and subtropical urban and semi-urban areas around the world.…”
