Objective:To explore the larvicidal activity of Catharanthus roseus(C.roseus) leaf extract and Raeillus thuringiensis(B.thuringiensis) against the malarial vector Anopheles stephensi(An. stephensi),when being used alone or together.Methods:The larvicidal activity was assayed at various concentrations under the laboratory and field conditions.The LC_(50) and LC_(90) values of the C.roseus leaf extract were determined by probit analysis.Results:The plant extract showed larvicidal effects after 24 h of exposure;however,the highest larval mortality was found in the petroleum ether extract of C.roseus against the first to fourth instars larvae with LC_(50)=3.34,4.48, 5.90 and 8.17 g/L,respectively;B.thuringiensis against the first to fourth instars larvae with LC_(50)=1.72.1.93.2.17 and 2.42 g/L.respectively:and the combined treatment with LC_(50)=2.18.2.41. 2.76 and 3.22 g/L,respectively.No mortality was observed in the control.Conclusions:The petroleum ether extract of C.roseus extract and B.thuringiensis have potential to be used as ideal eco-friendly agents for the control of An.stephensi in vector control programs.The combined treatment with this plant crude extract and bacterial toxin has better larvicidal efficacy against An.stephensi.
