Emergence of resistance among mosquitoes is recent problem. Safe and ecofriendly agents from biological origins is need of the hour. Extracts of 100 coastal plants species from South West coast of India were tested for the larvicidal activity of Culex quinquefasciatus. Of these, 17 plant species showed LC50 within 100 mg.l-1. The extracts of Cymbopogon citratus and Abrus precatorius were found most effective with LC50 value of 24 and 30 mg.l-1, respectively.Keywords

The study of marine organisms for their bioactive potential, being an important part of marine ecosystem has picked up the rhythm in recent years with the growth recognition of their importance in human life as well as animal. The in vitro antibacterial activity of column chromatographic fractions of ischolar_main extract of Cymodocea serrulata L. were determined for antibacterial activity against 4 poultry pathogens. The results suggest that 6 fractions from acetone extract and one fraction from hexane extract exhibited broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. It is concluded that the bioactive compounds from the ischolar_main extract of C. serrulata can be effectively used as an alternative poultry medicine to replace the conventional antibiotics of having adverse side effects.Keywords
