@article{M. Rajeswary_2015, title={Repellent properties of Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth. (Family: Fabaceae) against fi lariasis vector, Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae)}, volume={1}, url={https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/jmhe/article/view/2881}, abstractNote={<p>To determine the repellent activity of hexane, ethyl acetate, benzene, chloroform, and methanol extract of<br />Pithecellobium dulce leaf and seed against filariasis vector, Culex quinquefasciatus. Evaluation was carried out<br />in a net cage (45 cm2 × 30 cm2 × 25 cm2) containing 100 blood starved female mosquitoes of three mosquito<br />species and were assayed in the laboratory condition by using the protocol of WHO: The plant leaf crude extracts<br />of P. dulce was applied at 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/cm2 separately in the exposed area of the fore arm. Only ethanol<br />served as control. In this observation, the plant crude extracts gave protection against mosquito bites without<br />any allergic reaction to the test person, and also, the repellent activity is dependent on the strength of the plant<br />extracts. Among the tested solvents, both the leaf and seed methanol extracts showed maximum efficacy. The<br />highest concentration of 5.0 mg/cm2 provided over 120 min and 90 min protection for the leaf and seed extracts,<br />respectively. From the results, it can be concluded the crude extract of P. dulce was potential for controlling<br />filariasis vector, C. quinquefasciatus mosquito.</p>}, journal={Journal of Medicinal Herbs and Ethnomedicine}, author={M.
