Abstract Cymbopogon nardus, Syzygium aromaticum, and Citrus sinensis have been well known to possess insecticidal activity. Here, we investigated the repellent activity of individual of three essential oils (C. nardus, S. aromaticum, C. sinensis) and a combination of essential oils (C. nardus + C. sinensis, C. nardus + S. aromaticum, and C. sinensis + S. aromaticum) against a dengue vector, Aedes aegypti and a filarial vector, Culex quinquefasciatus. The essential oils (1 mg) were smeared evenly on the surface of the left arm (three volunteers) and then subjected to 25 females of A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus in the cage. The number of landed mosquitos was observed every hour for 7 hours to determine the protection index (PI). The result showed that individuals of three essential oils and a combination of essential oils generated > 90% of PI until 7 hours of application for both mosquitos species tested. Overall, the data demonstrated that individual of three essential oils, i.e., C. nardus, S. aromaticum, C. sinensis, and various combinations of essential oils (C. nardus + C. sinensis; C. nardus + S. aromaticum; C. sinensis + S. aromaticum) are promising as repellent agents against A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus.

Light green essential oils extracted from the leaves of Eupatorium odoratum (Asterace) from Himalaya region (India) were screened for repellent activity against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquifaciatus mosquitoes. The repellent activity was evaluated in door condition. Four concentrations 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (v/v) in ethanol were considered in this study. When the test oil was applied at 10% concentration were found most effective and provided more than 2hr of complete protection against all three mosquito species. The complete protection time (Mean ± S.D) were recorded as 160.2 ± 2.77min, 139.4 ± 1.14min and 125.6 ± 3.13min against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquifaciatus respectively. There was no bite within 125min and 160min confirm due to action of essential oil and thus 100% protection from the bite of mosquitoes achieved. No adverse effects of the human volunteers were observed during the exposure and through three months after the application.Therefore, the essential oil of Eupatorium odoratum (Asterace) may prove useful in the development of mosquito natural repellents as an effective personal protection measure against mosquito bites.

Frequent Use

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an epidemic vector of several diseases such as dengue fever and yellow fever. Several pesticides are used to control the mosquito population. Because of their frequent use, some mosquitoes have developed resistance. In the present study, we evaluated the synergistic mosquito-repellent activity of essential oils from Pelargonium radula, Syzgium aromaticum and Citrus aurantifolia against Aedes aegypti by using Y-tube olfactometer. The oils was subsequently analyzed by using GC–MS. These results clearly reveal that the essential oil of C. aurantifolia served as the most potent repellent agent against Aedes aegypti . The results indicate that three constituents; limonene (19.58%) followed by β–pinene (17.12%), geraniol (13.23%) which comprise a large proportion of the C. aurantifolia are likely responsible for the observed repellent activity.
