Abstract
The II instar stage of Anopheles, Aedes and Culex mosquito larvae were treated with ethanolic extract of Lantana camara stem. The extract showed lethal effect on Anopheles, Aedes and Culex II-instar stage of mosquito larvae in different concentrations and mortality rate increased for every 24 hours continuously for 4 days. But it was remarkable to note that the mortality was maximum in 600 mg/100mL concentration of ethanolic extract of Lantana camara stem in 24 hours, which prompted to select the concentration.
