Abstract
Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol stem bark extracts of Commiphora swynnertonii were evaluated for larvicidal potential against laboratory reared late third stage instar of mosquito namely, Anopheles gambiae ss Gile, Culex quinquefasciatus Say and Aedes aegypti L. The WHO methodology was adopted with minor modification using methanol extract with concentrations ranged from 25-300
