Aim of the study: The aim of this research was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of tuber
ethanol extract of Cyclamen hederifolium Aiton on the larvae of Culex pipiens L. (Diptera:
Culicidae).

Material and Methods: First-second instars larvae of the Cx. pipiens were exposed to
various concentrations (100, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm) of the extract. After 48 h exposure
larval mortalities were recorded. LC 50 and LC 90 values were determined by using StatPlus
program.

Results: Cyclamen hederifolium ethanol extract was found highly toxic and the LC 50 and
LC 90 values of extract were 275.7 and 433.2 ppm against Cx. pipiens. This is the first study
to report on the larvicidal activity of the extracts of Cyc. hederifolium against Cx. pipiens.
More new researches should be made to identify the active components of test extract, their
mode of action, and effects on mosquito species.

Keywords: Culex pipiens, Cyclamen hederifolium, insecticidal activity
