Implication

Study demonstrates larvicidal effects of Commiphora myrrha extracts on Aedes aegypti, indicating potential for natural pest control.

Key Points

  • Chloroform extract exhibited a 100% larval mortality rate, the highest among solvents.
  • The study identified 29 phytoconstituents in acetone, primarily sesquiterpenes and phenols.
  • Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to analyze the extracts' chemical composition.
  • Findings support the use of Commiphora myrrha extracts for developing plant-based insecticides.
