Abstract

Background: Plant extracts and oils may act as alternatives to conventional pesticides for malaria vector control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oils of three plants of Apiaceae family against Anopheles stephensi, the main malaria vector in Iran.

Methods: Essential oils from Heracleum persicum, Foeniculum vulgare and Coriandrum sativum seeds were hydro distillated, then their larvicidal activity were evaluated against laboratory-reared larvae of An. stephensi according to standard method of WHO. After susceptibility test, results were analysis using Probit program.

Results: Essential oils were separated from H. persicum, F. vulgare and C. sativum plants and their larvicidal activities were tested. Result of this study showed that F. vulgare oil was the most effective against An. stephensi with LC(50) and LC(90) values of 20.10 and 44.51 ppm, respectively.

Conclusion: All three plants essential oil can serve as a natural larvicide against An. stephensi. F. vulgare oil exhibited more larvicidal properties.

蜂科植物精油对疟疾病媒斯氏按蚊的杀幼虫活性研究。

背景:植物提取物和精油可作为传统杀虫剂的替代品，用于疟疾病媒控制。本研究旨在评价三种蜂科植物精油对伊朗主要疟疾病媒斯氏按蚊的杀幼虫活性。方法:采用水化蒸馏法提取仙花莲、小茴香和芫荽籽精油，对室内饲养的樟子树幼虫进行杀虫活性评价。根据世界卫生组织的标准方法。药敏试验后，采用Probit程序对结果进行分析。结果:分别从仙桃、凡夫俗子和苜蓿中分离出精油，并测定了精油的杀虫活性。本研究结果表明，黄菖蒲油对黄斑病的防治效果最好。斯蒂芬氏菌的LC(50)和LC(90)值分别为20.10和44.51 ppm。结论:3种植物精油均可作为天然杀幼虫剂。stephensi。黄油具有较强的杀虫性能。
