Abstract

Petroleum ether, chloroform and ethanol extracts of the leaf and seed of Annona squamosa were evaluated for larvicidal activity against laboratory reared fourth instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus, a vector of the Bancroftian filariasis and urban nuisance mosquito. The larval mortality was observed after 24 hr exposure. The extract was found to suppress the population of the vector at higher dosage, while the lower dosages found to induce several developmental defects.
