Figure 5. Larvicidal and pupicidal efficacy of (A) Aquilaria sinensis essential oil (AsEO), Pogostemon cablin essential oil (PcEO) and (B) green-synthesized silver nanoparticles using AsEO and PcEO against I-IV instar larvae and pupae of dengue and zika vector Aedes albopictus. Mortality was recorded after 24 h of exposure. No mortality was observed in the control. Different letters above each bar indicate significant differences among treatments (ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test, p < .05).
