Larvicidal Enzyme Inhibition and Repellent Activity of Red Mangrove (Lam.) Leaf Extracts and Their Biomolecules Against Three Medically Challenging Arthropod Vectors.

The larvicidal potential of crude leaf extracts of , the red mangrove, using diverse solvent extracts of the plant against the early fourth instar larvae of , and mosquito vectors was analyzed. The acetone extract of showed the greatest efficacy: for (LC = 0.13 mg/mL; LC = 2.

Biological effects of Avicennia marina (Forssk.) vierh. extracts on physiological, biochemical, and antimicrobial activities against three challenging mosquito vectors and microbial pathogens.

Mosquitoes are principal vector of several vector-borne diseases affecting human beings leading to thousands of deaths per year and responsible for transmitting diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, Zika virus, Japanese encephalitis, and lymphatic filariasis. In the present study, we evaluated the different solvent extracts of mangrove Avicennia marina for their toxicity against larvae of three major mosquito vectors, as well as selected microbial pathogens. The larvicidal mortality of third instars was observed after 24 h.
