Summary of article contents:

Mosquitoes are the most disturbing insects which are very hazardous to humanity. Mosquitoes are known to spread deadly vectorborne diseases. Acharya Susruta ha mentioned Mashak in Kalpasthana . The Keet-Visha section also describes 5 different varieties of Mashak . Agad Tantra provides descriptions of a wide range of medications and formulas to prevent mosquito (Keet) harm. Acharya Charaka in this series described " Jatvaadi Dhoomagad " to prevent mosquito (Keet) harm. Objective : In this study, petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol, and aqueous extract of Jatvaadi Dhoomagad were utilised to test the larvicidal, adulticidal, and repellent properties Methods : The Petroleum ether, Chloroform, Methanol, and Aqueous extract of JatvaadiDhoomagad were used against aedes aegypti in this study. Results: Statistically, In the chloroform extract of JatvaadiDhoomagad, the greatest rate of larval death against Aedes aegypti was observed in 24 hours. Accordingly, the petroleum ether extract of JatvaadiDhoomagad has shown better adulticidal action than other extract of JatvaadiDhoomagad . The knockdown times of the control group and petroleum ether extract were identical due to the poor mortality in other extracts of JatvaadiDhoomAgad’s adulticidal action, hence there was no protection time recorded Conclusions: These results suggest that the extracts of JatvaadiDhoomagad have no potential to be used as an ideal ecofriendly approach for the control of aedes aegypti. This study provides a report on the larvicidal activity, adulticidal activity, and repellent effect of JatvaadiDhoomagad extracts against aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
