Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Mosquitoes are the most important single group of insects acting as vector for many tropical and subtropical diseases. U</span><span>sing insecticides of plant origin to <span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;">interrupt the life cycle<span>,<span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;"> vector borne diseases can be controlled<span>. <em><span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;">Artocarpus lakoocha </span></em><span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;">Roxb. popularly known as <em>Monkey Jack</em> or <em>Lakuch</em> is ethnobotanically used to treat fever, purge, skin ailments and also as an appetizer. <span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;">T<span>he present study investigated the<span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;">pharmacognostical and <span>larvicidal activity <span lang="&quot;EN-GB&quot;">of leaves and fruits of <em>A. lakoocha</em> against <em>Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti</em> and<em> Culex quinquefasciatus </em>larvae. As a step towards standardization of crude drug, the powder microscopy, physico-chemical analysis, TLC studies and HPTLC profiles of active pet ether extract were established. The larvicidal potential of <span>successive solvent extracts were screened and expressed as LC<sub>50</sub> values. The pet ether extract of leaves and fruits were significant with LC<sub>50 </sub>241.36, 624.88, 1162.86 and 1180.95, 1286.69, 1398.69 µg/mL on the three species,<em> </em>respectively compared to other extracts. The results indicate that the triterpenoids and phytosterols present in the pet ether extract exerted a dose dependent larvicidal activity and the malarial vector,<em> An. stephensi</em> was more susceptible to the pet ether extract.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
