Analysis shows ethanolic extracts from marine organisms impact aedes aegypti larvae, suggesting potential for dengue vector control.

The ethanolic extracts from marine organisms showed varying effectiveness against aedes aegypti larvae, indicating potential insecticidal properties.
Efficacy was highest for the commercial insecticide Bug Slug with an LC50 of 0.0287 ppm, highlighting its superior effectiveness over tested marine extracts.
H. atra extract had an LC50 of 188.6 ppm, while T. hemprichii extract was less effective with an LC50 of 201.7 ppm compared to the insecticide.
Results suggest that extracts from H. atra may offer promising constituents for use against aedes aegypti larvae, warranting further investigation.

Mahyoub et al. (2016) studied this question.
