(+)-Obtusol increases ROS level in the larvae. Second instar Aedes aegypti larvae (Rockefeller and wild strains), were incubated in water under different conditions; (A) bright field image of larvae incubated in distilled water; (B) fluorescent control image of larvae incubated in distilled water alone; (C) bright field image of larvae incubated in distilled water containing 0.1% DMSO; (D) fluorescent control image of larvae incubated in distilled water containing 0.1% DMSO; (E) bright field image of second instar larvae (Rockefeller strain), incubated with water containing 5 ppm (+)-obtusol; (F) fluorescent image of second instar larvae (Rockefeller strain), incubated with water containing 5 ppm (+)-obtusol; (G) bright field image of second instar larva (wild strain), incubated in water containing 5 ppm (+)-obtusol; (H) fluorescent image of second instar larva (wild strain), incubated in water containing 5 ppm (+)-obtusol. Scale bars: 100 µm.
