The crude extracts, phenolic compounds, and amino acids isolated were tested as larvicides against the fourth-instar larvae of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae). To understand their mode of action, we evaluated the in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor effect of the crude extracts on the two mosquito larvae through a colorimetric method. Furthermore, the deterrent effect of the crude extracts against ovipositing Ae. albopictus females was assessed in the open field. Twelve phenylpropanoids and fourteen amino acids were detected in the extracts, with a prevalence of hydroxycinnamic acids and nonaromatic amino acids. The most toxic compound to Ae. albopictus larvae after 24 h was gallic acid, followed by the crude S. ebulus leaf extract; on Cx. pipiens, it was the crude flower extract. The AChE test showed higher inhibition on both mosquito species exerted by the leaf extract if compared to the flower extract, and it also deterred oviposition by Ae. albopictus females starting from the third day. The results indicated that vegetal extracts could effectively help in the integrated vector management of mosquitoes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects15070482","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]],"date-time":"2024-06-28T03:42:30Z","timestamp":1719546150000},"page":"482","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Leaf and Flower Extracts from the Dwarf Elder (Sambucus ebulus): Toxicity and Repellence against Cosmopolitan Mosquito-Borne Diseases Vectors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9000-9276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscilla","family":"Farina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7411-6394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Pisuttu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camilla","family":"Tani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3760-9894","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Bedini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8228-0258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina","family":"Nali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Nutrafood, Research Center Nutraceuticals and Food for Health-Nutrafood, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Cirsec, Centre for Climatic Change Impact, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0121-0715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Landi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Nutrafood, Research Center Nutraceuticals and Food for Health-Nutrafood, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Cirsec, Centre for Climatic Change Impact, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8401-2073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giulia","family":"Lauria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7861-1536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barbara","family":"Conti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Nutrafood, Research Center Nutraceuticals and Food for Health-Nutrafood, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Cirsec, Centre for Climatic Change Impact, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9237-5341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisa","family":"Pellegrini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Nutrafood, Research Center Nutraceuticals and Food for Health-Nutrafood, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"},{"name":"Cirsec, Centre for Climatic Change Impact, University of Pisa, Via del Borghetto 80, 56124 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"422","article-title":"Revision of the genus Sambucus","volume":"Volume 223","author":"Bolli","year":"1994","journal-title":"Dissertation Botanic\u0153"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Westwood, J.
