Resumo: Dengue is a tropical disease caused by an arbovirus transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Because no effective Vaccine is available for the disease, the strategy for its prevention has focused on vector control by the use of natural insecticides. The aim of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of the lignan grandisin, a leaf extract from Piper solmsianum, against Ae. aegypti.
