Example 2
Perilla leaf oil was tested for efficacy against 3- to 5-day old adult Aedes aegypti. Solutions tested included Perilla oil at 1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%. At 1 hour we obtained 0%, 37%, 97%, 93%, 100%, and 100% knockdown, respectively. At 24 hours we obtained 0%, 20%, 83%, 93%, 100%, and 100% mortality, respectively. The CO2 control and acetone standard both had 0% knockdown at 1 hour, and 0% mortality at 24 hours. These data suggest that perilla leaf oil exposure by contact leads to Aedes aegypti mortality.
Example 14
In support of example 2, Solution 1 (0.008 μg/mosquito of dinotefuran) and Solution 2 (0.008 μg/mosquito of dinotefuran with 2% of perillaldehyde) were tested for efficacy against 3- to 5-day old adult Culex quinquefasciatus. At 1 hour we obtained 10% and 90% knockdown for Solution 1 and 2, respectively. At 24 hours we obtained 73% and 90% mortality for Solution 1 and 2, respectively. The CO2 control and acetone standard both had 0% knockdown at 1 hour, and 0% mortality at 24 hours.
