Abstract

The  ovicidal response  of  selected plant essential  oils  was  evaluated  under  laboratory  conditions against  Aedes aegypti. Three plant oils viz., Abutilon indicum, Acacia nilotica and Acalypha indica were tested for ovicidal response assays at six different concentrations viz., 75, 125, 175, 225, 275 and 325 ppm concentrations. The ovicidal activity degreasing of essential oils against Aedes aegypti were Acacia nilotica > Acalypha indica and Abutilon indicum.
