Abstract

Yellow fever, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, and Zika virus are risky Aedes aegypti-borne infectious 
diseases among natives and travelers who travel to endemic countries globally. A total of 10g of each 
rigorously weighed dried leaf of Hyptis pectinata and four extracts (hexane, DCM, acetone, ðanol) 
at concentrations of 125, 250, 500, & 1000ppm were evaluated for larvicidal activities against Ae. ae
gypti 4th instar larvae. 
LC50 mortality increased to 100%, 20%, 60%, & 60% at 500ppm of hexane, DCM, acetone, and eth
anol extract (171, 203, 419 & 449 ppm, respectively), after 24 hours laboratory exposure. This inex
pensive medicinal plant reduced mosquitoes and thus can control their infectious parasitic and viral 
diseases.
