Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Asian tiger mosquito) is a rapidly spreading invasive species responsible for transmitting serious diseases, including dengue. In the present study, we evaluated eugenol's larvicidal activity against A. albopictus larvae and its impact on the non-target larvivorous fish, Trichogaster fasciata. Eugenol showed larvicidal activity with an LC<sub>50</sub> of 149.89 ± 17.38 ppm, while clove oil had a lower LC<sub>50</sub> of 77.11 ppm at 24 h. Eugenol exposure resulted in notable larval morphological changes, including melanization of the thorax and anal papillae. Histopathological analysis revealed toxic effects of eugenol on the peritrophic membrane, epithelial layer and microvilli of the larval midgut after 24 h. We also assessed the acute toxicity of eugenol on T. fasciata over 96 h using LC<sub>10</sub>, LC<sub>25</sub> and LC<sub>50</sub> concentrations. LC<sub>10</sub> and LC<sub>25</sub> concentrations were safe for the fish, but LC<sub>50</sub> caused immediate mortality. Remarkably, LC<sub>25</sub> concentration restored the natural pigmentation of T. fasciata, which had been lost in aquarium acclimatized conditions. Histopathological examination revealed normal gill and liver features in fish exposed to LC<sub>25</sub>. In an integrated model, eugenol at LC<sub>25</sub> effectively killed A. albopictus larvae and did not harm the non-target larvivorous mosquito Toxorhynchites splendens Theobald and fish T. fasciata. Thus, eugenol (LC<sub>25</sub>) shows promise for controlling A. albopictus larvae in small aquariums and nursery ponds, alongside beneficial larvivorous species.</p>","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"54 1","pages":"78"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144326302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second experimental design involved introducing larvae, with microcosms varying by room temperature (18 °C and 25 °C) and exposure to A. glazioviana leaves after a 14-day incubation period.

This reduction in competition among surviving larvae led to the development of larger individuals, consistent with the temperature-size rule. Notably, the impact of leachate toxicity was most significant when A. aegypti was exposed during the egg stage. Additionally, we observed that elevated temperatures were linked to increased wing asymmetry and reduced body size, suggesting heightened developmental instability under environmental stress.
