Abstract

The increasing prevalence of insecticide resistance in Aedes mosquitoes necessitates development of alternative control methods. This study evaluated adulticidal efficacy of essential oils from Litsea cubeba, Syzygium aromaticum, and Cinnamomum porrectum against laboratory and field populations of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Discriminating concentrations (DCs) were established using WHO tube tests. L. cubeba showed the lowest DCs (6.21% v/v for Ae. aegypti, 9.68% v/v for Ae. albopictus), followed by C. porrectum (9.70%, 15.55%) and S. aromaticum (19.40%, 24.33%). At these DCs, all oils demonstrated 98-100% knockdown and 99-100% mortality against field populations. Aedes albopictus required higher DCs than Ae. aegypti, suggesting species-specific susceptibility differences. Essential oils showed superior efficacy against field-collected Ae. aegypti compared to cypermethrin. Results indicate potential of these oils as effective botanical insecticides, particularly where conventional insecticide resistance occurs.

建立本地植物性杀虫剂对埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊成虫的鉴别浓度。

伊蚊对杀虫剂的抗药性日益普遍，因此有必要开发替代控制方法。本研究评估了山苍子、香合木和肉桂精油对实验室和野外埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊种群的杀虫效果。采用WHO试管试验建立鉴别浓度（DCs）。白僵菌的DCs最低，为6.21% v/v。埃及伊蚊，9.68% v/v；其次是直纹伊蚊（9.70%、15.55%）和香纹伊蚊（19.40%、24.33%）。在这些DCs中，所有油对现场种群的抑制率为98-100%，死亡率为99-100%。白纹伊蚊比伊蚊需要量高。埃及伊蚊，提示物种特异性易感性差异。精油对野外采集的伊蚊有较好的防治效果。埃及伊蚊与氯氰菊酯的比较。结果表明，这些油作为有效的植物性杀虫剂的潜力，特别是在传统杀虫剂抗性发生的地方。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vector Ecology is an international journal published by the Society for Vector Ecology. It is concerned with all aspects of the biology, ecology, and control of arthropod and vertebrate vectors and the interrelationships between the vectors and the agents of disease that they transmit. The journal publishes original research articles and scientific notes, as well as comprehensive reviews of vector biology based on presentations at Society meetings. All papers are reviewed by at least two qualified scientists who recommend their suitability for publication. Acceptance of manuscripts is based on their scientific merit and is the final decision of the editor, but these decisions may be appealed to the editorial board. The journal began publishing in 1974 and now publishes on-line only.
