In the Sri Sathya Sai district's Dharmavaram revenue subdivision, the highest case fatality rate (CFR) was noted. Children who have dengue fever have an increased risk of dying. The increasing frequency of dengue fever necessitates research into three risk factors: the environment, mosquitoes as the vector, and humans as the host. This study uses a cross-sectional study design and a descriptive methodology. From August to December 2021, information was gathered using primary data in the form of questionnaires. 90 children (48 with dengue and 42 control group) under the age of 18 who met the criteria in the working area's Dharmavaram revenue subdivision served as the study's subjects. The univariate analysis of the data was done using a frequency distribution table. The results of this study show that male children between the ages of 10 and 15 are the ones who experience dengue fever in the workplace the most. Based on other host factors, children who are active outside the home and seldom use repellent are more likely to contract dengue fever. Dengue fever patients have a habit of draining the landfill once every two weeks, never closing the landfill, and never recycling used items, according to Mosquito Nest Eradication Behaviours. Most kids with dengue fever hardly ever hang their clothes up in their rooms or use abatements. Residents of the Dharmavaram revenue subdivision were more likely to contract dengue if they used insect repellent, hung their garments outside, or had larvae in their water containers. The most common serotype of dengue virus is DEN-1. Environmental management encourages intervention against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a carrier of dengue fever, as well as other environmental changes. We believe that the outcomes of this study will shed light on vulnerable populations and serve as a platform for future research.","PeriodicalId":14127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mosquito Research","volume":"379 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insecticides affect an insect's nervous system, reproduction, or immune system. On the other hand, insecticides have a detrimental effect on soil microbial activity and counts, which is concerning for the environment. It also affects various other organisms such as earthworms present in the soil it. In this in silico research study, we carry out a comparative study on the effect of the insecticide, Phorate on the earthworm sps, Eudrilus eugeniae and on the mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Eudrilus eugeniae is native to tropical West Africa and is currently common in warm climates where it is grown in vermicompost. Many diseases like dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever, dengue shock syndrome, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus infection are mostly spread by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Primarily, we investigate the mechanism by which Phorate affects the earthworms in the soil and the mosquito. The protein sequence of Cytochrome oxidase, present in the extracellular region of Eudrilus eugeniae and Aedes aegypti, is introduced to Phorate using advanced automated molecular drug docking techniques. The results are validated in 3D view using advanced molecular visualization tools. The results obtained from our study shows that the 3D structure of Cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 binds with Phorate in the hydrophobic regions. Based on the binding affinity scores and 3D H-bond interactions between Cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 and Phorate, the level of inhibition between the protein and the receptor is analysed. The overall results conclude that the accumulation of Phorate in the soil leads to its binding with the extracellular region of the earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae bringing about the degeneration of the species which is detrimental to soil fertility, whereas the effect of Phorate on Aedes aegypti is beneficial in controlling the species for the benefit of mankind.","PeriodicalId":14127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mosquito Research","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135506435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of evaluating certain agricultural and industrial waste products of natural origin as larvicidal agents against mosquitoes is both good and unconventional.

According to the current result, all plant and industrial waste extracts had larvicidal activity, and cigarette filters (100% mortality) and Lipton packet tea (97%) were most effective, followed by date palm kernels (90%), burnt rice straw (84%), and apricot kernel extracts (79%), whereas the LC 50 values were 528.14, 582.42, 815.5, 976, and 1080.50 ppm with 2000 ppm after 24 h, respectively. Data showed that cigarette filters and apricot kernel extracts were more attractive media for female oviposition, and cigarette filters and date palm kernel extracts had significant effects on the decreasing hatching rate (12.42% and 24.58%).
