Overview

Experimental analysis reveals combined garlic and clove extracts improve larvicidal and adulticidal efficacy against Anopheles gambiae, indicating a potential eco-friendly alternative to deltamethrin.

Key Points

  • The combined hydroethanolic extracts of garlic and clove significantly increased larval and adult mosquito mortality rates compared to individual extracts.
  • Mortality rates were statistically significant (p < 0.05) when comparing combined garlic-clove extract to deltamethrin and single extracts.
  • The combined extract inhibited crucial enzymes like acetylcholine esterase, aiding in mosquito lethality and highlighting its biochemical impact.
  • GC-MS analysis exhibited higher binding affinity of certain bioactive compounds in garlic and clove compared to standard insecticide deltamethrin.
