Nationwide cross-sectional surveillance of Leishmania donovani in phlebotomine sand flies and its impact on national kala-azar elimination in India.

India is accelerating efforts to eliminate kala-azar by aligning its National Kala-Azar Elimination Program with the World Health Organization's (WHO) roadmap for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) 2021-2030. Elimination relies on comprehensive vector surveillance and integrated vector management. This study aimed to conduct nationwide entomological surveillance to detect Leishmania donovani in phlebotomine sand flies.

Evaluation of in vitro anthelmintic activity of crude extract and synthesized green silver nanoparticles of the leaves of L.

One of the most severe parasite infections to ever plague animals, paramphistomosis is particularly devastating in tropical and subtropical areas and causes significant economic losses to the world's food industry and poor animal health. In the present study potency of the crude extract and green synthesized silver nanoparticles from fresh and mature  L. leaves was evaluated on trematode , collected from the infected rumen of the cow ) in 0.

Drug Discovery Potential of Insect-Derived Compounds: A review.

Insects are the most numerous and diverse collection of organisms on earth. Around the world, human societies have utilised insects and the materials derived from them as medical resources. These arthropods use chemistry, like all other species.

Evaluation of mosquito larvicidal activity of fruit extracts of against the Japanese encephalitis vector .

The larvicidal potentiality of crude and ethyl acetate extracts of fruits of was investigated against all the larval instars of JE vector . The crude extracts showed good results against all the larval instars with highest mortality at 0.09%.

Larvicidal activity of phytosteroid compounds from leaf extract of Solanum nigrum against Culex vishnui group and Anopheles subpictus.

Background: Vector control is facing a menace due to the appearance of resistance to synthetic insecticides. Insecticides of plant origin may provide appropriate substitute biocontrol techniques in the future. The present study was carried out to investigate the bio control potentiality of active ingredient isolated from chloroform: methanol (1:1 v/v) extract of mature leaves of Solanum nigrum L.

Glucosinolate from leaf of Solanum nigrum L. (Solanaceae) as a new mosquito larvicide.

The present study was carried out to investigate the biocontrol potentiality of active ingredient isolated from ethyl acetate extract of mature leaves of Solanum nigrum L. (Solanaceae) against the larval form of Culex quinquefasciatus Say. Mortality rate at a concentration of 25 mg/L of the active compound was highest (P < 0.

Laboratory evaluation of molluscicidal & mosquito larvicidal activities of leaves of Solanum nigrum L.

Background & Objectives: Indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides has created serious problem for the aquatic flora and fauna, and also resulted in appearance of pesticide resistance in vector population. This study was designed to evaluate the biocontrol efficacy of aqueous and solvent extracts of mature leaves of Solanum nigrum L., against fresh water snail Lymnaea acuminata f.

Mosquito larvicidal potential of four common medicinal plants of India.

Background & Objectives: Mosquitoes transmit serious human health diseases, causing millions of deaths every year. Plants may be sources of alternative mosquito control agents. The present study was carried out to assess the role of larvicidal activities of the crude extracts of four plants viz.

Mosquito larvicidal and antimicrobial activity of synthesized nano-crystalline silver particles using leaves and green berry extract of Solanum nigrum L. (Solanaceae: Solanales).

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that are synthesized by using aqueous extracts of Solanum nigrum L., is a simple, non-toxic and ecofriendly green material. The present study is based on assessments of the larvicidal and antimicrobial activities of the synthesized AgNPs from fresh leaves, dry leaves and green berries of S.

Mosquito larvicidal activity of Solanum nigrum berry extracts.

Phytochemicals are widely used as biocontrol agent against vector mosquitoes. The present study was undertaken to isolate and evaluate the mosquitocidal activity of various extracts of berries of S. nigrum against Culex quinquefasciatus.

Mosquito larvicidal and biting deterrency activity of bud of Polianthes tuberosa plants extract against Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus.

Mosquito control by phytochemicals is an alternative method to synthetic insecticides, as it is biodegradable and non resistant to vector mosquito. Polianthes tuberosa is a perennial plant distributed in many parts of India. The present study was undertaken to scientifically evaluate the larvicide and biting deterrency activity of bud of Polianthes tuberosa against Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles stephensi.

Larvicidal activity of Dregea volubilis and Bombax malabaricum leaf extracts against the filarial vector Culex quinquefasciatus.

Objective: To analyze the larvicidal activity of two plant leaf powder and leaf-extracts, Dregea volubilis and Bombax malabaricum against Culex quinquefasciatus.
