Malaria Mosquito Bionomic And Local Plant Extract Bioprospecting As Botanical Insecticyde In Southeast Minahasa

Abstract

A research that aims to find bionomic data and mosquito diversity of Anopheles sp in Southeast Minahasa andlocal plant extract bioprospecting as botanical insecticide has been conducted. The research result shows thatthere are eight species of Anopheles spp that are found in Lobu and Silian Village, Toluaan Sub-district,Southeast Minahasa. The total of catched mosquito as follows: An. Barbirostris is 1779, An. Vagus is 1401, An.Subpictus is 574, An. Indifinitus is 528, An. Tesselatus is 415, An. Kochi is 94, An. Pediataeniatus is 30 and An.Aconitus is 16. There are 4 species with the highest abundance in Lobu and Silian Village, i.e. An. Barbirostris,An. Vagus, An. Subpictus and An. Infinitus. The activity treatment of purple lemongrass oil (cymbopogon citratus)and Tembelek (Lantana camara) are effective as Southeast Minahasa ethnobotany plant extract anti mosquito inNorth Sulawesi. There is a plant extract photochemistry class content and plant extract combination. The activesubstance content especially in purple lemongrass oil (?-D-Galaktopiranosid) affects much in controlling theactivity of anti-mosquito anopheles sp.Keywords: bionomic, Anopeheles, bioprospection, botanical insecticyde.1.
