Abstract
Gastrinomas are functional neuroendocrine tumors (NET) with excessive pathological secretion of a peptide hormone called Gastrin usually produced by gastric G-cells...

Nile, dengue, yellow fever, lymphatic filariasis and malaria which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria [1]
Mosquito control strategies are fixated on the use of synthetic insecticides as constituents for Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Bed Nets (LLINs) and Indoor Residual Sprays (IRS) as methods recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) [4]
Mortality Rate of Mosquitoes’ Larvae in Relation to Concentrations of Capsicum chinensis Powder and Exposure Periods there was a very high significant difference (χ2 = 91.442, df = 5, P < 0.0001) in mortality rate of An. gambiae larvae in relation to concentrations of C. chinensis powder
Summary
Dengue, yellow fever, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) and malaria which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria [1]. The success recorded by this strategy in terms of reduction of morbidity and mortality [5] is short-lived as mosquito resistance to insecticide has increased through time [6,7,8,9,10,11]. The use of botanicals (plant-based products) is one of the best alternatives to synthetic insecticides [13, 14]. This is because they offer a more environmentally friendly method of mosquito control [15] in that they have very weak adverse effect on non-target subjects [16] and are biodegradable [17]. Several plant species have been employed, worldwide, to control mosquito populations
