Larvicidal activity of phytoextracts against dengue fever vector, Aedes aegypti - A review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.14719/pst.2018.5.4.407Keywords:
Aedes aegypti, phytoextracts, larvicidal activity, susceptibilityAbstract
Since Aedes aegypti is considered as the major vector of dengue fever, development of strategies to accomplish improved vector control without much interference in the environment composition are more common. As phytochemicals are now in the run for achieving this goal, this review is a humble attempt to recognize the plant species and their larvicidal efficacy with their inhibitory action on the life cycle of the species of interest, that has been documented through various studies conducted till date. Here we also discuss the synergistic impact of a number of phytoextracts which will provide more efficient control measures for mosquito vectors. All these studies are an exploration for a risk-free vector control tactic to replace the current chemical insecticide application for the betterment of our nature.
