Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) is a disease vector for the West Nile virus (WNV). Climate change impacts transmission carried by mosquitoes, and it partly to blame resurgence of mosquitoes as important insects. This study assessed geographic range in United States under both present projected climatic scenarios, identifying primary environmental factors influencing its distribution. Employing species distribution modeling (MaxEnt, Version 3.4.1) occurrence data from Global Biodiversity Information Facility, we examined effects key variables, including altitude, temperature seasonality (bio4), annual precipitation (bio12), on habitat suitability C. pipiens. The analysis revealed that altitude accounted 60.3% model’s explanatory power, followed (31%) (8.7%).

This study investigates the larvicidal potential of Tinospora rumphii Boerl (Makabuhay) stem extract against Aedes aegypti larvae, assessing its viability as an eco-friendly insecticide. Phytochemical analysis confirmed presence bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, steroids, and saponins, known for their insecticidal properties. The was tested at concentrations 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, mortality rates were recorded 24, 48, 72 hours. ANOVA revealed significant differences in across concentrations, with 20% causing 98% mortality. Pearson’s correlation demonstrated a strong positive relationship between phytochemical concentration activity. Eco-toxicity tests showed minimal adverse effects on non-target organisms, exhibited biodegradability. These results support T. promising natural alternative to chemical insecticides mosquito control. Future studies should focus isolating active compounds optimizing application methods broader use integrated pest management strategies.
