Field evaluation of toxicity of plant extracts against vector of filariasis Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823 (Diptera: Culicidae) P. Senthamarai Selvan, R. Senthoorraja, V. Ramesh, A. Jebanesan South African Journal of Botany, 2021 Mosquito control has been facing backlashes due to the emergence of resistant varieties against synthetic insecticides. The bioactivity of five plant extracts viz., Poncirus trifoliate, Murraya paniculata, Citrus bergamia, Aegle marmelos and Limonia acidissima was studied against the filarial vector of Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823. Larvicidal assays were conducted under laboratory condition to evaluate the 24 h LC50 and LC90 of the selected plants against 3rd instar larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus. The lethal concentration (LC50 and LC90) values ranged from 76.26 to 208.32 mg/L and 191.85 to 477.16 mg/L, respectively. The result of larvicidal test suggests that the larvicidal activity of the L. acidissima and P. trifoliate extracts were highly influenced. Test results showed that the flavonoid compounds exhibited larvicidal activity against 3rd instar Cx. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. Percent reduction was recorded with an LC50 concentration of L. acidissima and P. trifoliate. A field study was carried out to evaluate larvicidal activity on 24 h, 48 h and 78 h period and percentage of larval and pupal reduction due to L. acidissima and P. trifoliate extracts in the unused cement tank and mini water pool in Puthanampatti, Tiruchirappalli district. The field tested plant extracts proved to have various activities against different life stages of Cx. spp. Therefore, flavonoid compounds from L. acidissima and P. trifoliate plant can be a potential candidate for use in the development of commercial mosquito larvicidal products that may be an alternative to conventional synthetic chemicals, particularly in integrated vector control applications.
Diversity of mosquitoes and larval breeding preference based on physico-chemical parameters in Western Ghats, Tamilnadu, India Periyasamy Senthamarai Selvan, Arulsamy Jebanesan, Govindaraj Divya, Velu Ramesh Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease, 2015 To study the diversity and distribution of mosquitoes in Western Ghats of Coimbatore and Nilgiris District, Tamilnadu, India. Random collections were carried out during August-2013 to July-2014 in cesspits, animal footprints, rock holes, tree holes, drainages at study areas of Marudhamalai, Valparai, Mettupalayam in Coimbatore District and Dhottapeta, Coonoor, Gudalur in Nilgiris District of Tamilnadu, India by using suction tube and kerosene pump. Mosquitoes were identified by standard entomological procedures. A total of 1 018 mosquitoes (larvae and pupae) were collected from all over the study areas comprising 6 genera and 23 species. They are, Culex mimulus, Culex pseudovishnui, Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex vishnui, Culex khazani, Culex uniformis, Heizmannia chandi, Heizmannia grenii, Heizmannia indica, Oclerotatus anureostriatus, Oclerotatus albotaeniatis, Oclerotatus deccanus, Oclerotatus gubernatoris, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Aedes edwardsi, Aedes krombeini, Toxorhynchites minimus, Toxorhynchites splendens, Anopheles aitkenii, Anopheles barbirostris, Anopheles culiciformis and Anopheles maculatus. Shannon-Weaver diversity index, Margalef's index of richness and Simpsons dominance index was also studied. From 6 sites, the highest mosquitoes were collected from Marudhamalai (309) and the least mosquitoes were collected in Mettupalayam (68). The study determined whether physicochemical characteristics differ between habitats with high and low presence of mosquito larvae. Based on Margalef's index of richness (Dmg), the highest values were present in Mettupalayam (5.214) study area and the lowest in Marudhamalai (3.837). It can be concluded from Shanon-Weaver index of diversity that, the highest values were present in Mettupalayam (2.947) and the least value were in Gudalur (2.410) during the study period. In areas with reservoirs of disease, mosquito abundance information can help to identify the areas at higher risk of disease transmission. The study identifies mosquito species density and diversity of culicine and anopheline larvae. Hence, this research contribution has more significance for basic biological research and developing control strategies for vector borne diseases.
