摘要：
Investigations were made to test the larval toxicity and smoke repellent potential of Albizzia amara and Ocimum basilicum at different concentration (2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%) against the different instar (I, II, III and IV) larvae and pupae of Aedes aegypti. The LC50 values of A. amara and O. basilicum for I instar larvae was 5.412 and 3.734, II instar 6.480 and 4.154, III instar 7.106 and 4.664, IV instar 7.515 and 5.124, respectively. The LC50 and LC90 values of pupae were 6.792%, 5.449% and 16.925%, 15.474%. The smoke toxicity of A. amara was more effective against A. aegypti than the O. basilicum. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
