“…exhibited lethality to larvae of Simulium damnosum Theobald (LC 50 = 1 µg/mL) which was not statistically different from that of the synthetic organophosphorous larvicide chlopyrifos [26]. Hydrogenated catnip (Nepeta cataria L. leaf, stem) EO containing 15 weight-percent (wt %) of stereoisomeric dihydronepetalactones (1.67 g/m 2 ) as active repellent ingredients was formulated into a liquid and a lotion both of which provided > 7.5 h mean complete protection against adult Simulium decorum Walker in the field [27].…”

Plant Extracts, Isolated Phytochemicals, and Plant-Derived Agents Which Are Lethal to Arthropod Vectors of Human Tropical Diseases - A Review

et al. 2011

The recent scientific literature on plant-derived agents with potential or effective use in the control of the arthropod vectors of human tropical diseases is reviewed. Arthropod-borne tropical diseases include: amebiasis, Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), cholera, cryptosporidiosis, dengue (hemorrhagic fever), epidemic typhus (Brill-Zinsser disease), filariasis (elephantiasis), giardia (giardiasis), human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), isosporiasis, leishmaniasis, Lyme disease (lyme borreliosis), malaria, onchocerciasis, plague, recurrent fever, sarcocystosis, scabies (mites as causal agents), spotted fever, toxoplasmosis, West Nile fever, and yellow fever. Thus, coverage was given to work describing plant-derived extracts, essential oils (EOs), and isolated chemicals with toxic or noxious effects on filth bugs (mechanical vectors), such as common houseflies (Musca domestica Linnaeus), American and German cockroaches (Periplaneta americana Linnaeus, Blatella germanica Linnaeus), and oriental latrine/blowflies (Chrysomya megacephala Fabricius) as well as biting, blood-sucking arthropods such as blackflies (Simulium Latreille spp.), fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis Rothschild), kissing bugs (Rhodnius Stål spp., Triatoma infestans Klug), body and head lice (Pediculus humanus humanus Linnaeus, P. humanus capitis De Geer), mosquitoes (Aedes Meigen, Anopheles Meigen, Culex L., and Ochlerotatus Lynch Arribálzaga spp.), sandflies (Lutzomyia longipalpis Lutz & Neiva, Phlebotomus Loew spp.), scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei De Geer, S. scabiei var hominis, S. scabiei var canis, S. scabiei var suis), and ticks (Ixodes Latreille, Amblyomma Koch, Dermacentor Koch, and Rhipicephalus Koch spp.). Examples of plant extracts, EOs, and isolated chemicals exhibiting noxious or toxic activity comparable or superior to the synthetic control agents of choice (pyrethroids, organophosphorous compounds, etc.) are provided in the text for many arthropod vectors of tropical diseases.

“…However, iridoid nepetalactones produced by Nepeta spp. plants (Lamiaceae), and structurally-related compounds, have been investigated as repellents (Bernier et al 2005;Chauhan et al 2005;Spero et al 2008), which may avoid some of these problems. A further concern associated with such materials is that host-seeking vectors invariably still can locate their potential host by overcoming the plantrelated cues.…”

Infectious diseases affecting livestock and human health that involve vector-borne pathogens are a global problem, unrestricted by borders or boundaries, which may be exacerbated by changing global climate. Thus, the availability of effective tools for control of pathogen vectors is of the utmost importance. The aim of this article is to review, selectively, current knowledge of the chemical ecology of pathogen vectors that affect livestock and human health in the developed and developing world, based on key note lectures presented in a symposium on "The Chemical Ecology of Disease Vectors" at the 25th Annual ISCE meeting in Neuchatel, Switzerland. The focus is on the deployment of semiochemicals for monitoring and control strategies, and discusses briefly future directions that such research should proceed along, bearing in mind the environmental challenges associated with climate change that we will face during the 21st century.

“…Synthetic chemicals and insecticides used for control of vectors are causing irreversible damage to the eco-system, as some of them are non-degradable in nature. The plant based repellents may have good role in reducing the biting nuisance and infections by preventing the man-fly contact (Fradin and Day 2002;Spero et al 2008) and to preclude any adverse effect that could emanate from the use of synthetic repellents (Goodyer and Behrens 1998).…”

Malaria, dengue fever, filariasis, and viral encephalitis are all mosquito-borne illnesses that cause a great number of health issues across the world. Mosquitoes inject saliva into their hosts' skin to make obtaining a blood meal simpler by inhibiting hemostasis. D7 proteins are abundant in mosquito saliva and act as biogenic amine and eicosanoids scavengers. The chemical interactions of possible Smilax zeylanica compounds with mosquito-targeted D7 salivary protein and odorant binding protein were investigated. From petroleum ether, acetone, and ethanolic solvents, a total of 28 chemical components were discovered in the GC-MS study of S . zeylanica . Different solvents were also tested for their adulticidal and repellent properties against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti , and Culex quinquefasciatus . Among the three solvents, the ethanolic extract exhibited the highest toxic level against the three mosquito species. LC 50 of P. ether 284.92ppm, 311.97ppm and 332.76ppm; LC 50 of acetone 241.97ppm, 271.61ppm and 304.99ppm; and LC 50 of ethanol 217.12ppm, 241.89ppm and 266.90ppm, against the three mosquito species, respectively. In repellent activity from all the solvents, complete protection was observed for up to 150 minutes against the three mosquito species. A total of 22 compounds were taken for docking studies. The compounds were subjected to docking against the three mosquitoes' D7protein. Overall, this study highlights the importance of a computational approach based on control of mosquito vectors and potential activity of biopesticides.
