Abstract

This study assessed the larvicidal and ovicidal effects of essential oils extracted from the above ground of Origanum minutiflorum and Salvia dorystoechas, belonging to the Lamiaceae plant family, on Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae and eggs. The research utilized essential oil concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 ppm. Larvicidal activity was evaluated 6 hours post-exposure and subsequently at 24-hour intervals over a period of 5 days while ovicidal activity was monitored every 2 days for a total of 10 days. Findings indicated that both essential oils demonstrated significant larvicidal effects at 50 and 100 ppm concentrations against Ae. aegypti larvae. In contrast, ovicidal effects were not observed to be statistically significant. Throughout the experiment, O. minutiflorum essential oil consistently showed higher larvicidal potency compared to S. dorystoechas. Therefore, while essential oils from both O. minutiflorum and S. dorystoechas effectively target Ae. aegypti larvae, especially at elevated concentrations, they did not exhibit ovicidal properties.

Origanum minutiflorum ve Salvia dorystoechas'tan Elde Edilen Uçucu Yağların Aedes aegypti’ ye Karşı Larvisidal ve Ovisidal Özellikleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Lamiaceae bitki ailesine ait Origanum minutiflorum ve Salvia dorystoechas'ın toprak üstü kısımlarından elde edilen uçucu yağların Aedes aegypti sivrisinek larvaları ve yumurtaları üzerindeki larvasidal ve ovisidal etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada 1 ila 100 ppm arasında değişen uçucu yağ konsantrasyonları kullanılmıştır. Larvasidal aktivite maruziyetten 6 saat sonra ve daha sonra 5 günlük bir süre boyunca 24 saatlik aralıklarla değerlendirilirken, ovisidal aktivite toplam 10 gün boyunca her 2 günde bir izlenmiştir. Bulgular, her iki uçucu yağın da Ae. aegypti larvalarına karşı 50 ve 100 ppm konsantrasyonlarında önemli larvasidal etkiler gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Buna karşılık, ovisidal etkilerin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı gözlenmiştir. Araştırma süresince, O. minutiflorum uçucu yağı S. dorystoechas'a kıyasla sürekli olarak daha yüksek larvisidal etki göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, hem O. minutiflorum hem de S. dorystoechas uçucu yağları, özellikle yüksek konsantrasyonlarda Ae. aegypti larvalarını etkili bir şekilde hedef alırken, ovisidal özellikler sergilememiştir.
