Larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti larvae

Více o knize

The study investigates the essential oil of Aniba rosaeodora, focusing on its chemical composition, toxicity, antioxidant potential, and effectiveness against Aedes aegypti larvae. Extracted via hydrodistillation, the oil predominantly contains -linalol at 63.16%, highlighting its pharmaceutical promise. Toxicity tests indicate it is non-toxic, while the oil demonstrates significant larvicidal activity with an LC50 of 41.07 mgL-1, along with notable antioxidant properties. These findings suggest its potential application in controlling mosquito populations.
