Overview

Experimental analysis shows papaya seed extract increases mortality rates in Aedes aegypti larvae, suggesting potential as an effective natural larvicide.

Key Points

  • Papaya seed extract significantly increases mortality rates in Aedes aegypti larvae.
  • All larvae died within 24 hours in treatment groups with papaya seed extract and the control.
  • Probit analysis indicated the lethal concentration (LC50) for papaya seed extract at 2.599 mg/ml.
  • The findings highlight the potential of papaya seed extract as a safe alternative to temephos for controlling dengue vector populations.
