Observational analysis shows significant mortality from essential oil in Anopheles gambiae larvae, indicating potential for vector control.

Mortalities of Anopheles gambiae larvae increased significantly at doses ≥ 600 ppm after 24 hours.
Lethal doses LD50 and LD90 were found to be 554.4 ppm and 788.2 ppm respectively, after exposure to essential oil.
Histological examination revealed progressive destruction of nervous and muscle tissues between 6 to 24 hours.
Significant mortality rate differences were observed between control and higher concentrations, revealing the oil's efficacy.

SEYE et al. (2025) studied this question.
