| Abstract: | The vector-borne
diseases (VBDs), malaria, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, dengue, etc., are
increasing and have been spreading to newer areas recently due to the increased
risk of transmission fuelled by developmental activities, demographic changes
and introduction of new products. All over the world, more than 50% of persons
with filariasis receive their infections from the bites of mosquitoes,
particularly Culex quinquefasciatus (Say). This species of mosquito and
the incidence of filariasis are quite abundant in India, particularly in
Chidambaram town of Tamil Nadu. Natural products are generally preferred because
of their less harmful nature to non-target organisms and due to their innate
biodegradability. |
