Avaliação larvicida dos extratos obtidos da vegetação de transição Cerrado-Caatinga contra Aedes aegypti

Resumo

This work evaluated the larvicidal activity of the extracts of plants obtained from the Cerrado-Caatinga transition vegetation against Ae. aegypti. The results obtained show that of the extracts used, P. cincinnata presented the best results, obtaining a mortality rate above 50%. The extracts used in larvicidal bioassays demonstrated that they can be used to control Ae. aegypti.
