    Author: Aguilera L, Navarro A, Tacoronte JE, Leyva M, Marquetti MC.
    Journal: Rev Cubana Med Trop; 2003; 55(2):100-4. PubMed ID: 15849965.
    Abstract:
    The biological activity of the essential foliar oils from 2 Cuban endemic Myrtaceae: Eugenia melanadenia and Psidium rotundatum on A. aegypti larvae was evaluated for the first time at the laboratory level. The probit-log analysis of the results showed the larvicidal effect of both oils with values of CL50 = 0.0085% and CL95 = 0.0104% for E. melanadenia and CL50 = 0.0063% and CL95 = 0.0071% for O. rotundatum. Besides, the diagnostic concentration for both essential oils are given and the possible implications of these findings on field populations of A. aegypti are suggessted.
