Intracellular effects exerted by phytochemicals eliciting insect growth-retarding responses
during vector control intervention remain largely underexplored. We studied the effects of …

Herein, we focused on the larvicidal effects and potential mechanisms of 5-ethenyl-2, 2′-
bithiophene (5 EB), a compound isolated from Echinops ritro L. on Aedes aegypti larvae …

Abstract Background Insect growth regulators (IGRs) can control insect vector populations
by disrupting growth and development in juvenile stages of the vectors. We previously …

We investigated the toxicity of (−)-asarinin, α-asarone, methyleugenol, pellitorine, and
pentadecane identified in Asarum heterotropoides root to third instar larvae from insecticide …

Mosquito-borne diseases are a significant threat to human health. The frequent and
repetitive application of insecticides can result in the selection of resistant mosquito …

Background The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, and the common house mosquito,
Culex pipiens pallens, transmit dengue fever and West Nile virus diseases, respectively …

The cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are known to play a major role in pyrethroid
resistance, by means of increased rate of insecticide detoxification as a result of their …

Mosquito control is vital for combating mosquito-borne diseases, but concerns exist
regarding the use of synthetic insecticides. This study aimed to explore eco-friendly …

Plants employ an intricate and dynamic defense system that includes physiological,
biochemical, and molecular mechanisms to counteract the effects of herbivorous attacks. In …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are responsible for dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus
transmission in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Due to the absence of …
