Abstract:

Aim: The View of this work was to study the larvicidal activity of dried root part of Sida acuta (Burn.) against the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. These larvae are the most significant vectors. Mosquitoes are the known major vector for the transmission of several diseases like filariasis, malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis. Which are considered harmful towards the population in tropic and subtropical regions. The millions of people are suffering from filariasis around the world.

Methods: The preclusive laboratory was revealed that to determine the efficacy of Chloroform extract of dried root of Sida acuta (Burn.) belonging to the family Malvaceae at various concentrations against the late third instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus by following the WHO guidelines.

Results: The results suggest that 100% mortality effect of Chloroform extract of Sida acuta (Burn.) was practically observed at 50 to 300 ppm (parts per million). The results obviously showed use of plants in larvae control as an alternative method for minimizing the noxious effect of some pesticide compounds on the environment. Thus the extract of Sida acuta (Burn.) is claimed as more selective and biodegradable agent.

Conclusion: This study observed that plant of Sida acuta (Burn.) has a realistic mortality result for larvae of filarial vector. This is safe to individual and communities against mosquitoes. It is a natural arms for mosquito control.
