Larvicidal and Pupicidal Activity of Neonicotinoid Insecticide Imidacloprid against Southern House Mosquito, Culex Quinquefasciatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae)
Purpose
Mosquitoes, known as one of the deadliest creatures on the planet, pose significant risks to the health of humans and animals worldwide by transmitting diseases like malaria, dengue, lymphatic filariasis, West Nile fever, and Zika virus. As mosquito-borne diseases continue to pose a significant threat to global public health, the development and enhancement of effective vector control strategies have become increasingly critical. Among the promising approaches is the use of insecticides such as imidacloprid, a systemic neonicotinoid known for its potent insecticidal properties.
Methods
This study aims to observe the larvicidal and pupicidal activity of Imidacloprid against Culex quinquefasciatus as per the guidelines of World Health Organisation (WHO). The mortality data were analysed for the determination of LC50 and LC90.
Results
In this study, the LC50 and LC90 values for Cx. quinquefasciatus larvae were determined to be 0.049 mL/L and 0.137 mL/L, while for pupae, the values were 0.264 mL/L and 0.480 mL/L respectively.
Conclusion
The obtained results signifies the considerable efficacy of Imidacloprid that could be used as a potential mosquitocide.
期刊介绍:
Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject.
Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews.
The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
