Zhu, Junwei published the artcileAdult repellency and larvicidal activity of five plant essential oils against mosquitoes, Quality Control of 42822-86-6, the main research area is plant essential oil insecticide repellent Aedes Culex.
The larvicidal activity and repellency of 5 plant essential oils-thyme oil, catnip oil, amyris oil, eucalyptus oil, and cinnamon oil-were tested against 3 mosquito species: Aedes albopictus, A. aegypti, and Culex pipiens pallens. Larvicidal activity of these essentials oils was evaluated in the laboratory against 4th instars of each of the 3 mosquito species, and amyris oil demonstrated the greatest inhibitory effect with LC50 values in 24 h of 58 μg/mL (LC90 = 72 μg/mL) for A. aegypti, 78 μg/mL (LC90 = 130 μg/mL) for A. albopictus, and 77 μg/mL (LC90 = 123 μg/mL) for C. pipiens pallens. The topical repellency of these selected essential oils and deet against laboratory-reared female blood-starved A. albopictus was examined Catnip oil seemed to be the most effective and provided 6-h protection at both concentrations tested (23 and 468 μg/cm2). Thyme oil had the highest effectiveness in repelling this species, but the repellency duration was only 2 h. The applications using these natural product essential oils in mosquito control are discussed.
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association published new progress about Aedes aegypti. 42822-86-6 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol, and the molecular formula is C10H20O2, Quality Control of 42822-86-6.
