The ability of Vitex trifolia and Vitex negundo essential oils to kill Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae was evaluated.
The larvae were treated with their respective essential oils at 50-125 ppm concentration.
LC50 and LC90 for V. trifolia against Ae. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus, and those for V. negundo against Ae. aegypti were 57.7+0.4, 77.9+0.9 ppm and 55.17+3.14, 78.28+2.23 ppm, and 50.86+0.9, 73.12+1.3 ppm, respectively. Eucalyptol and caryophyllene were the major components in Vitex trifolia and Vitex negundo essential oil, respectively.
This study revealed potential larvicidal properties of essential oil from V. trifolia.
评估了蔓荆子和黄荆精油杀灭埃及伊蚊和致倦库蚊幼虫的能力。
将幼虫用浓度为50 - 125 ppm的各自精油进行处理。
蔓荆子对埃及伊蚊和致倦库蚊的LC50和LC90,以及黄荆对埃及伊蚊的LC50和LC90分别为57.7±0.4、77.9±0.9 ppm和55.17±3.14、78.28±2.23 ppm,以及50.86±0.9、73.12±1.3 ppm。桉叶油素和石竹烯分别是蔓荆子和黄荆精油的主要成分。
本研究揭示了蔓荆子精油潜在的杀幼虫特性。
