The Efficacy of Extract from Various Parts of Blumea Lacera in Preventing and Treating Bacteria (Escherichia Coli) and Fungal (Trichophyton Rubrum) Infections in Humans as Well as Controlling Mosquitoes (Aedes Aegypti) in the Environment

Abstract

In Ayurveda, Blumea lacera extraction has been found cast-off in the management of various sympathetic of diseases and is also found to exhibit hypoglycaemic, anti-diarrhoeal, larvicidal, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Blumea lacera extraction contain astringent, stomachic, antipyretic, and diuretic, cure bronchitis and fever. To find out the most suitable part of the plant Blumea lacera which will be used for killing the mosquito larvae. How do the plant extraction produce effect on the different stages of larvae, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, stages. Different doses of extraction. Blumea Lacera plant, cut in their different parts of plant separately, i.e., leaves, root, stem, and bud and grind them with different solvents like methanol: leaves, root, stem and bud. Distilled water: leaves, root, stem and bud. Benzene: leaves, root, stem and bud, and kept them at room temperature openly to evaporate the excess number of solvents. Mosquitoes larvae (Aedes aegypti) and culture them at room temperature by providing them only filtered rain water and mixture of (3gm pedigree +1gm yeast). Our main focus was on that whether the different solvent extraction is effective against mosquitoes’ larvae, if it is then how much effective? Then the most effective extraction was methanolic leaves extraction, it mostly affected the 1st stage of mosquitoes’ larvae at 1500 microliter it killed 90% 1st stage population of mosquitoes’ larvae. Methanolic leaves extraction showed antibacterial property, antifungal property and larvicidal property.
