Larvicidal potential of selected indigenous lichens against three mosquito species-Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi

The bioassay results revealed larvicidal potential of lichens especially against C. quinquefasciatus with high mortality even at lower concentration. Hence, lichens can be used as an ideal sustainable approach for the control of lymphatic filariasis caused by vector C. quinquefasciatus.
