Abstract [English]

Mosquitoes are the most significant category of hematophagous arthropods. Traditional medicine uses numerous plants for their larvicidal properties against mosquitoes in various regions globally. The combination of bacterial toxin and plant extract has a significant impact on mosquito larvae. We evaluated the larvicidal effectiveness of the plant extract Vernonia amygdalina in combination with B. thuringiensis against third instar larvae of Aedes aegypti. We recorded the average mortality and percentage mortality of larval populations at various concentrations after 24 and 48 hours of exposure. Bti and Vernonia amygdalina extracts showed significant insecticidal efficacy, as evidenced by LC 50 and LC 90 values. The LC50 values for 24-hour and 48-hour exposure are 18.35 and 16.71, respectively. The LC 90 values at 24 hours and 48 hours of exposure are 32.47 and 29.39, respectively.
