ABSTRACT
The insecticidal activity of Cinnamomum zeylanicum against the larval maturation and adult emergency of Anopheles pharoensis and Musca domestica 3[rd] stage was evaluated under controlled laboratory conditions. A. pharoensis with concentrations [conc.] of 100%, 70%, 50%, 25%, 5%, 2%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.7% and 0.5% showed 100% larval mortality. Conc, of 0.3%, 0.2% and 0.1% caused mortality of 77.8%, 44.4% and 33.3% respectively. The fecundity of emerged adults was 0%, 60% and 50%. In M. domestica the cone, from 50%-100% completely killed the larvae. Conc, of 25%, 5%, 2% and 1% caused mortality of 88.9%, 55.6%, 33.3% and 22.2% respectively. Less conc, of C. zeylanicum was not tested. The fecundity of the emerged adults was 0%, 66.7%, 66.7% and 83.3%. Only one control larva died and the nine emerged adults were fertile in the two cases
