ACCIÓN INSECTICIDA DE EXTRACTOS ETANÓLICOS DE ESPONJAS DEL GOLFO DE URABÁ SOBRE LARVAS DE Aedes aegypti y Culex quinquefasciatus INSECTICIDE ACTION OF ETHANOL EXTRACTS OF SPONGES FROM URABÁ GULF ON Aedes aegypti AND Culex quinquefasciatus larvae
Due to increasing resistance of the vectors mosquitoes causing diseases of importance in public health, to chemical insecticides, is necessary the searching for alternative control methods, as the use of marine sponges extracts with insecticide activity, owing to its capacity of biodegradation and generation of minor environmental damage. In this work the insecticide activity is evaluated for the ethanol extracts of the marine sponges Amphimedon compressa, Topsentia ophiraphidites, Svenzea zeai, Ircinia campana and Agelas Amphimedon compressa, Topsentia ophiraphidites, Svenzea zeai, Ircinia campana and Agelas sventres, on stadium IV larvae of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus, in conditions of laboratory (25 o C and 75 % Relative Humidity). The follow-up of the analysis is realized for evaluation and comparison of the percentage of mortality of each species at each extract concentration. The evaluated parameter is
