Yellow fever, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, and Zika virus are risky Aedes aegypti-borne infectious diseases among natives and travelers who travel to endemic countries globally. A total of 10g of each rigorously weighed dried leaf of Hyptis pectinata and four extracts (hexane, DCM, acetone, ðanol) at concentrations of 125, 250, 500, & 1000ppm were evaluated for larvicidal activities against Ae. aegypti 4th instar larvae. LC50 mortality increased to 100%, 20%, 60%, & 60% at 500ppm of hexane, DCM, acetone, and ethanol extract (171, 203, 419 & 449 ppm, respectively), after 24 hours laboratory exposure. This inexpensive medicinal plant reduced mosquitoes and thus can control their infectious parasitic and viral diseases.
