Abstract:

To assess the biolarvicidal compound and larvicidal potentials of methyl ester of hexadeconic acid isolated from Annona muricata Linn. (A. muricata) against mosquito larvae Aedes aegypti Linn. (A. aegypti). The biolarvicidal compound methyl ester of hexadeconic acid was determined using GC-MS, while the larvicidal bioassay was carried out using different concentration of aqueous leaf extract of A. muricata against the larvae of A. aegypti in accordance with the standard protocol. Isolation and identification of larvicide bioactive compound from soursop (A. muricata) leaves against the larvae of A. aegypti mosquito, the transmitters of dengue fever has been carried out.

Keywords:
