“…C. citratus oil exhibited the highest repellent activity with 98.0 to 99.0% protection from bites of two mosquitoes for more than 120 min. The result coincides with the earlier result of other researchers, which reported that essential oils from C. citratus showed repellent activity against A. aegypti, C. quinquefasciatus, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Anopheles subpictus and Anopheles dirus (Govindaraja, 2011;Sritabutra and Soonwera, 2013). Besides, C. citratus oil also showed the insecticidal effect against housefly (Musca domestica), showing 100% knockdown at 30 min and KT 50 values of 5.14 min (Sinthusiri and Soonwera, 2013).…”

Background: The mosquitoes of Culicidae family are serious vectors of several tropical diseases, such as malaria, filariasis, encephalitis, and nuisance. Control of mosquitoes and protection of people from their bites are of the most important ways to prevent transmitted diseases. Although the efficacy of N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is high and generally used as mosquito repellent, yet a number of biting diptera are tolerant to DEET. Furthermore, there are concerns about the safety of DEET and its allergic and toxic effects. Therefore, it is necessary to use other repellents like plant essential oils. Objectives: The aim of this work was to develop a safe repellent with a long-lasting protection based on micro-emulsion of eucalyptus essential oil. Methods: Eucalyptus globulus essential oil was obtained by water distillation in a Clevenger apparatus. The larvae of Culicidae were collected and adult mosquitoes reared for the repellency test. Preparation of micro-emulsions of Eucalyptus globulus essential oil was made by mixing the specified surfactant (Tween 80 and Span 20) and the appropriate amount of co-surfactant (propylene glycol) under the water titration method. The laboratory method, arm in cage, was used to estimate the time of protection of essential oil micro-emulsion against mosquitoes and DEET used as a standard repellent. Results: Physicochemical properties of formulated micro-emulsions were appropriate and suitable for topical application. Particle size of eucalyptus oil 15% w/w micro-emulsion was lowest. When applying eucalyptus oil micro-emulsion at concentrations of 5, 10,

“…Os mosquitos são os mais relevantes em termos de insetos de importância para a saúde pública que transmitem um grande número de doenças como a dengue, a chikungunya, encefalite japonesa, filariose e a malária, causando milhões de mortes todos os anos (SRITABUTRA;SOONWERA, 2013).…”

“…Os constituintes dos óleos essenciais são principalmente compostos lipofílicos que atuam como toxinas, impedimentos de alimentação e oviposição para uma ampla variedade de insetos pragas (KOUL et al, 2008), sendo reconhecidos como importantes recursos naturais de inseticidas porque alguns são seletivos, biodegradáveis, não-tóxicos e têm alguns efeitos sobre organismos alvo (SRITABUTRA;SOONWERA, 2013).…”

O Aedes aegypti L. é o mosquito mais relevante em termos de inseto de importância para a saúde pública no mundo, pois é transmissor de vírus que causam várias doenças, dentre elas a dengue. Na procura de larvicidas alternativos, os óleos essenciais extraídos de plantas medicinais têm demonstrado alta eficiência. Com isso, objetivou-se com avaliar o potencial larvicida de óleos essenciais, extraídos de espécies medicinais, sobre larvas de A. aegypti. O experimento foi realizado nos Laboratórios de Tecnologia de Produtos e de Entomologia Agrícola da Universidade Federal do Cariri (UFCA), na cidade de Crato, Ceará. Os óleos essenciais de alfazema (Hyptis suaveolens); gonçalo-alves (Astronium fraxinifolium0; alecrim de tabuleiro (Lippia Microphylla); mussambê (Cleome spinosa); marmeleiro (Croton sonderianus); aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva); velame (Croton heliotropiifolius) e candeeiro (Vanillosmopsis arborea) foram extraídos pelo método de hidrodestilação em aparelho tipo Clevenger. Os óleos foram emulsionados com Dimetilsulfóxido 2% (DMSO) e diluídos para a concentração de 100 ppm (partes por milhão), utilizando-se o delineamento inteiramente casualisado com nove tratamentos (consistindo nas soluções de 100 ppm de cada óleo mais a solução controle com água e DMSO) e quatro repetições, utilizando-se dez larvas para cada tratamento, sendo avaliado o número de larvas mortas. Observou-se que todos os óleos essenciais apresentaram efeito larvicida, porém os de candeeiro e de alfazema foram os que se destacaram.<pre>Abstract: Aedes aegypti L. is the most relevant mosquito in terms of public health importance of the world, because it’s the virus transmitter that causes many diseases, among this dengue. Looking for alternatives larvicides, the essential oils extracted from medicinal plants have demonstrated high efficiency. Thereby, it was objectified in this work to evaluate the larvicide potential of some essential oils, extracted from medicinal species, against A. aegypti larvae. The experiment was realized at the Laboratory of Products Technology and Agricultural Entomology of the Federal University of Cariri (UFCA), in city of Crato, CE. The essential oils alfazema (Hyptis suaveolens); gonçalo-alves (Astronium fraxinifolium0; alecrim de tabuleiro (Lippia Microphylla); mussambê (Cleome spinosa); marmeleiro (Croton sonderianus); aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva); velame (Croton heliotropiifolius) e candeeiro (Vanillosmopsis arborea) was extracted by hydrodistillation method in apparatus like Clevenger type. The oils were emulsified with dimethyl sulfoxide 2% (DMSO) and diluted to a concentration of 100 ppm (parts per million), utilizing design completely randomized with nine treatments (that consisted in the solutions of 100 ppm of each oil plus control solution with water and DMSO) and four repetitions, utilizing ten larvae for each treatment, being evaluated the number of dead larvae. Was calculated the mortality average by Tukey test with 5% of probability and the efficiency. It was observed that all the essential oils presented larvicide effect, but candeeiro and alfazema was the ones which was highlighted.</pre>
