          Abstract

          Introducción: el mosquito Aedes aegypti es el principal vector de los virus del dengue y la fiebre amarilla. Una de las formas actuales para combatir estas enfermedades es el control del vector. Sin embargo, los problemas causados por los insecticidas sintéticos y la resistencia adquirida por los mosquitos, hacen cada vez más difícil esta lucha. Las plantas constituyen una fuente alternativa al uso de insecticidas sintéticos. Objetivos: evaluar la actividad larvicida para el mosquito Aedes aegypti, de los extractos etanólicos y fracciones activas, de diferentes órganos vegetales de las especies Trichilia hirta L. y Tabernaemontana cymosa Jacq. Métodos: en este estudio se utilizaron larvas de Aedes aegypti en estadios III y IV. Los extractos etanólicos totales se obtuvieron por maceración del material vegetal seco y molido, durante una semana y posterior secado a presión reducida con un rotoevaporador. La obtención de fracciones y subfracciones, se realizó por cromatografía de columna abierta, usando solventes de diferentes polaridades. La actividad larvicida se evaluó bajo protocolos recomendados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Resultados: los extractos etanólicos de corteza de Trichilia hirta y flores, corteza y hojas de Tabernaemontana cymosa, no mostraron actividad larvicida. El extracto de semillas de Trichilia hirta mostró una actividad moderada con una CL50 y CL90 de 219,2 y 331,4 mg/L respectivamente. El extracto etanólico de semillas de Tabernaemontana cymosa, la fracción F008 y la subfracción F011, mostraron una buena actividad larvicida con CL50 de 35,1; 20,9, y 14,98 mg/L, respectivamente. Conclusiones: según los resultados, se consideró como promisorio el extracto de semillas de Tabernaemontana cymosa para la obtención de metabolitos secundarios con actividad larvicida.

          Introduction: Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue and yellow fever. One way to combat these diseases today is the vector control. However, the problems caused by synthetic insecticides and the acquired resistance by mosquitoes, turn this control into a more difficult struggle every day. The plants offer an alternative source to the use of synthetic insecticides. Objectives: the objective of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of the ethanol extracts and active fractions of different organs of Trichilia hirta L. and Tabernaemontana cymosa Jacq. Methods: in this study, Aedes aegypti larvae in III and IV stages were used. The total ethanol extracts were obtained by maceration of dried and ground plant material for a week and then dried at reduced pressure. The fractionation was performed by open column chromatography with the use of different polarity solvents. The larvicidal activity was assessed following protocols recommended by the World Health Organization. Results: the ethanol extracts from Trichilia hirta bark and flowers, and Tabernaemontana cymosa bark and leaves showed no larvicidal activity. The Trichilia hirta seed extract showed a moderate activity with an LC50 and LC90 of 219.2 and 331.4 mg/L respectively. The ethanol extract from Tabernaemontana cymosa seeds, the fraction F008 and the subfraction F011, showed good larvicidal activity with LC50 of 35.1, 20.9, and 14.98 mg/L, respectively. Conclusions: according to the results obtained in this study, the extract from Tabernaemontana cymosa seeds could be considered as a potential source of secondary metabolites with larvicidal activity.

          A review of botanical phytochemicals with mosquitocidal potential.

          Identification of novel effective mosquitocidal compounds is essential to combat increasing resistance rates, concern for the environment and food safety, the unacceptability of many organophosphates and organochlorines and the high cost of synthetic pyrethroids. An increasing number of researchers are reconsidering botanicals containing active phytochemicals in their efforts to address some of these problems. To be highly competitive and effective, the ideal phytochemical should possess a combination of toxic effects and residual capacity. Acute toxicity is required at doses comparable to some commercial synthetic insecticides while chronic or sub-chronic toxicity is required to produce growth inhibition, developmental toxicity and generational effects. In this article, we review the current state of knowledge on larvicidal plant species, extraction processes, growth and reproduction inhibiting phytochemicals, botanical ovicides, synergistic, additive and antagonistic joint action effects of mixtures, residual capacity, effects on non-target organisms, resistance, screening methodologies, and discuss promising advances made in phytochemical research.

              Levels of insecticide resistance and resistance mechanisms in Aedes aegypti from some Latin American countries.

              Eight Latin American strains of Aedes aegypti were evaluated for resistance to 6 organophosphates (temephos, malathion, fenthion, pirimiphos-methyl, fenitrothion, and chlorpirifos) and 4 pyrethroids (deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, betacypermethrin, and cyfluthrin) under laboratory conditions. In larval bioassays, temephos resistance was high (resistance ratio [RR50], > or =10X) in the majority of the strains, except for the Nicaragua and Venezuela strains, which showed moderate resistance (RR50, between 5 and 10X). The majority of the strains were susceptible to malathion, fenthion, and fenitrothion. However, resistance to pirimiphos-methyl ranged from moderate to high in most of the strains. Larvae from Havana City were resistant to 3 of the pyrethroids tested and moderately resistant to cyfluthrin. The Santiago de Cuba strain showed high resistance to deltamethrin and moderate resistance to the other pyrethroids (lambdacyhalothrin, betacypermethrin, and cyfluthrin). The rest of the strains were susceptible to pyrethroids, except for the Jamaica and Costa Rica strains, which showed moderate resistance to cyfluthrin, and Peru and Venezuela, which showed resistance to deltamethrin. Adult bioassays showed that all the strains were resistant to dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane and to the majority of pyrethroids evaluated. The use of the synergists S,S,S,-tributyl phosphorotrithioate and piperonil butoxide showed that esterase and monooxygenases played an important role in the temephos, pirimiphos-methyl, and chlorpirifos resistance in some strains. Biochemical tests showed high frequencies of esterase and glutathione-S-transferase activity; however, the frequency of altered acetylcholinesterase mechanism was low. The polyacrylamide electrophoresis gel detected the presence of a strong band called Est-A4. Insecticide resistance in Ae. aegypti is a serious problem facing control operations, and integrated control strategies are recommended to help prevent or delay the temephos resistance in larvae and pyrethroids resistance in adults.
