ABSTRACT
The mosquitocidal plant extracts of the myrrh Commiphora molmol; namely, oil and oleoresin demonstrated larvicidal activity against Culex pipiens larvae. Oleoresin induced a significant higher toxic action than oil. Solvent did not perform any toxic activity. The impact of both oleoresin and oil extracts on the protein profile of the treated larvae was evaluated in order to explain their mode of action. Electrophoretic analysis of total proteins, lipoproteins and glycoproteins revealed an inhibitory action of the used plant extracts on the protein contents. Larvicidal activity of the oleoresin and oil was related to the loss of certain enzymes inhibited by these extracts which affected the metabolic processes
