Abstract

Mosquitoes are the most important single group of insects in terms of public health importance, which transmit a number of diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, etc. causing millions of deaths every year. Plants may be alternative sources of mosquito control agents. The present article reports the mosquito larvicidal activity of Cleome icosandra against 2nd and 4th instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. In the present research the larvicidal potential of various extractives obtained from C.icosendra have been found to be more effective against forth instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus
