Larvicidal and enzyme inhibition effects of Phoenix pusilla derived Methyl oleate and malathion on Aedes aegypti strains

The genus Aedes is well-known for its role in transmitting a wide range of arboviruses. Particularly, Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) (Linnaeus) has emerged as a crucial vector, contributing to the spread of infectious diseases that pose significant public health challenges worldwide. This species is a competent carrier of four major arboviruses-dengue virus, chikungunya virus, yellow fever virus, and Zika virus-resulting in substantial global health burdens and economic impacts.
