Corn starch, an abundant, cheap and biodegradable raw material, is the basis for a novel larvicide developed by researchers at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo State, Brazil. The material is used in microcapsules for storage and controlled release of active compounds to kill larvae of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that transmits dengue, zika, yellow fever and chikungunya.
A patent application has been filed via UNICAMP’s innovation agency (Inova). The methodology is [...]

Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that transmits diseases such as dengue, zika, and yellow fever, is typically controlled utilizing insecticides that harm the environment. Now, however, scientists have created eco-friendly mozzie-killing microcapsules, made from cheap natural thyme oil and corn starch.
Developed by a team at Brazil’s University of Campinas, the capsules’ active ingredient is a biodegradable phenol known as thymol, which is found in the essential oil of the thyme plant. [...]
