Paper Title
Larvicidal Activity of Citrus SP. against AEDES AEGYPTI
Abstract
The dengue vector shows resistance to larvicides. This indicates the need for alternatives in vector control. This study aims to provide a systematic review of the efficacy of various types of plants in controlling Aedes aegypti vectors. The literature review was taken from the Scopus, Pubmed, sciendirect, and Google Scholar data bases using the keywords larvicide or biolarvicide, extract, Aedes. The use of natural larvicides is an alternative in controlling Aedes sp. Several types of citrus have been reported to have efficacy in killing Aedes Sp larvae such as Citrus sinensis, Citrus grandis, Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus reticulate, and Citrus amblycarva. The use of natural larvicides must be used in an integrated manner in the management of dengue vector control.
