RESUMO

Ethanol extracts of 83 plants species belonging to the Asteraceae (Compositae) family, collectes in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were tested for larvicidal activity against the mosquito Aedes fluviatilis - Diptera: Culicidae). The extract from Tagetes minuta was the most active with LC90 of 1.5 mg/l and LC50 of 1.0 mg/l. This plant been the object of several studies by other groups and its active components have already been identified as thiophene derivates, a class of compounds present in many Asteraceae species. The extract of Eclipta paniculata was also significantly active, with a LC90 of 17.2 mg/l and LC50 of 3.3 mg/l and no previous studies on its larvicidal activity or chemical composition could be found in the literature. Extracts of Achryrocline satureoides, Gnaphalium spicatum, Senecio brasiliensis, Trixis vauthieri, Tagetes patula and Vernonia ammophila were less active, killing more than 50 per cent of the larvae only at the higher dose tested (100 mg/l)
