Copepod activity and mosquitocidal activity of berry extract against dengue vector Aedes aegypti: A mini review

Abstract

The previous research was reported on the extract of Solanum xanthocarpum fruit and the copepods Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides, which were reported under laboratory conditions for the control of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti. The previous report therefore evidently demonstrates that the fruit extract of S. xanthocarpum and under laboratory conditions, copepod M. thermocyclopoides may serve as a potential for the highest rate of mortality against mosquito larvae. This is a modern eco-friendly system for the management of the target species the Ae. Aegypti mosquito. This study therefore provides a basic report on the collective impact of this fruit extracts and the copepods of M. thermocyclopoides’s anti dengue vector Ae. Aegypti from India.
