Aedes aegypti larvae have developed tolerance to many insecticides used for mosquito
control. Moringa oleifera seeds contain a water-soluble lectin (WSMoL) and this paper …

Background Natural insecticides against the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti have been the
object of research due to their high level of eco-safety. The water-soluble Moringa oleifera …

The indiscriminate use of synthetic insecticides to control Aedes aegypti has led to
emergence of resistant populations. Moringa oleifera seeds contain the lectins WSMoL and …

Moringa oleifera flower extract, with trypsin inhibitor activity, is a larvicidal agent on Aedes
aegypti. This work reports the isolation of trypsin inhibitor (M. oleifera flower trypsin inhibitor …

Objective To evaluate the larvicidal and pupicidal potential of the methanolic extracts from
Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) plant seeds against malarial vector Anopheles stephensi (A …

Aedes aegypti transmits the viruses that cause yellow and dengue fevers. Vector control is
essential, since a vaccine for dengue has not as yet been made available. This work reports …

In this work, biological effects of the water extract of Moringa oleifera seeds (WEMOS) were
assessed on eggs and 3rd instar larvae of Aedes aegypti and on its toxicity upon laboratory …

Aedes aegypti transmits etiologic agents of yellow fever and dengue. Vaccine for dengue
virus is not available and vector control is essential to minimize dengue incidence. This …

Lectins have demonstrated significant levels of protection against different pests when
expressed in transgenic plants. The effects of the coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) …

Aedes aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae), the main urban vector of dengue, has developed
resistance to various insecticides, making its control increasingly difficult. We explored the …
