Abstract |
: |
The ethanolic extracts of Artemisia herba alba, Matricharia chamomella and Melia azedarach were tested under laboratory conditions for oviposition deterrent and skin repellent activities against the adult mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. Concentrations of A.herba alba (1.80, 0.90, 0.45, 0.22,0.11 mg/l) ,M.chamomilla (0.50, 0.25, 0.12, 0.06, 0.03 mg/l) and M.azedarach (1.03, 0.51, 0.25, 0.12, 0.06 mg/l).Treated with A.herba alba prevent eggs Laying 100% and 85.75% , 65.36% when treated with M.chamomilla and M.azedarach (eggs only laying at minimum concentration).In skin repellent tests, concentrations of A.herba alba ; M.chamomilla and M.azedarach were 1.807;0.505 and 1.035mg/l respectively, provided 72 hours protection against mosquito bites, whereas the control one provided only 24 hours of protection. Both oviposition deterrent and skin repellent activity were concentration dependent. The results suggest that the ethanol extracts of A. herba alba, M. chamomella and M. azedarach is an effective oviposition deterrent and skin repellent against Cx.quinquefasciatus. |
