Larvicidal, Ovicidal, and Repellent Activities of < em > Leucas stachydiformis < /em > (Hochst. ex Benth.) Briq Essential Oil against < em > Anopheles arabiensis < /em >
J Trop Med. 2024 Mar 29;2024:1051086. doi: 10.1155/2024/1051086. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTLarvicidal, ovicidal, and repellent activities of the essential oil extracted by hydrodistillation from the leaves of the endemic Ethiopian plant Leucas stachydiformis (Hochst. ex Benth.) Briq were investigated against Anopheles arabiensis, the dominant malaria vector species in Ethiopia with the objective of searching for a plant-based malaria vector control strategy from medicinal plants. The larvicidal effect was tested against the fourth instar An. arabiensis wild larvae whilst freshly laid ova of An. arabiensis were used to deter...
