Abstract

Organosoluble extracts from 55 Turkish medicinal plants were tested under standardised conditions for biological activity against third-instar larvae of mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. Eight extracts demonstrated significant larvicidal activity, with An. gambiae being more susceptible than Ae. aegypti in all cases. The possibility of using indigenous plants for mosquito control is discussed.
