Insecticidal efficacy of plant extracts and isolated drimane sesquiterpenes against adult female (A,C) and larval (B,D) Ae. aegypti (Liverpool, LVP, strain). (A,C) Adulticidal efficacy was defined as the percentage of adults (after Abbott’s correction) that were incapacitated (dead or flightless) within 24 h when extract (2.5 µg/mosquito) or compounds (5 nmol/mosquito) were applied to the thoracic cuticle of the adult females. Values are means ± SEM; N = number of independent replicates of 10 females each. (B,D) Larvicidal efficacy in 1st instar larvae was defined as the percentage (after Abbott’s correction) that died within 24 h when extract (50 µg/mL) or compounds (100 µM) were added to the rearing water (100 µM). Values are means ± SEM; N = number of independent replicates of 5 larvae each. In all panels, lower-case letters indicate statistical categorization of the means as determined by a one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (p < 0.05).
