Tactile Cues

Feeding behavior of newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) was studied by comparing the responses of individual animals to visual, chemical, and tactile cues from mosquito larvae. Feeding responses were most strongly stimulated by visual cues; less so by chemical and tactile cues in that order.

Lc50 Value

Study to assess the larvicidal property of Lantana camara leaves against Aedes triseriatus larvae found that the ethyl acetate extract had profound larvicidal action with the crude extract having a LC50 value of 409.831ppm. GC-MS analysis of the ethyl acetate extract confirmed the presence of twenty-one compounds out of which beta-caryophyllene covered the highest percentage of the chromatogram area. Further tests with beta-caryophyllene against the mosquito larvae proved it to be the active ingredient of L. Camara with a LC50 value of 104.243ppm.
