Abstract
Aedes aegypti is vector of Dengue and Yellow Fevers, a mosquito of public health importance. It is the most broadly disseminated urban species of mosquito in the world. Larval insecticide is one of the alternatives to control the mosquito dissemination. Temephos and Bacillus turinghiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) are the larvicidal most used in the world to combat A. aegypti mosquito. In face of larvae resistance to Temephos and the high cost of Bti production in large scale, research programs on insecticides often focus on alternative compounds and natural products as rich sources of larvicides. In this work we describe significant larvicidal activity research of plant and algae extracts, essential oils and isolated compounds against A. aegypti.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
