The goal of my study is to evaluate the toxic effects of hemp extracts against larvae and adult Aedes aegypti. I evaluated this by exposing 1st instar larvae and adult female mosquitoes for 24h to different concentrations of leaf and flower hemp extracts. Our results show that both leaf and flower hemp extracts elicit toxic activity on larvae and adult mosquitoes, opening a potential path to use hemp has larvicides and adulticides for mosquito control.
