Abstract
Using chemical insecticides remains the main way to prevent and manage dengue and malaria, two main mosquito-borne diseases. However, the vectors of these diseases have developed resistance to chemical insecticides. Essential oils (EOs) could be used as alternatives because besides their larvicidal and adulticidal properties, they have repellent properties. In Burkina Faso, studies on the repellent properties of essential oils on mosquitoes remained limited. The EOs extracted from five plants (Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon nardus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Lippia multiflora, and Ocimum americanum) collected in Ouagadougou were tested on populations of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae s.l collected in Bobo-Dioulasso and the Kou of Valley, respectively. Susceptible strains of the two species were also tested. DEET and permethrin were used as positive controls. Most of the 5 EOs tested produced irritant effects on adults of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. The irritant effects on mosquito adults were significantly influenced by the concentration of the EOs and species of mosquitoes. On Anopheles gambiae s.l, the repellent-irritant effects of Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon nardus, and Eucalyptus camaldulensis EOs were very close to DEET. On Aedes aegypti, all our EOs had higher repellent-irritant effects and some of them were very close to DEET. EOs could be used as alternative repellents to pyrethroids in vector control.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
