Essential Oils Of Caatinga Plants With Deletary Action For Aedes Aegypti: A Review

In Brazil, Aedes aegypti mosquito is the most frequent vector of some arboviruses, such as dengue, yellow fever, Zika and chikungunya. The use synthetic insecticides to combat this has been compromised due development resistant populations collateral damage caused nature. Essential oils (EO) have studied an alternative insecticide. Thus, objective work was do a review EOs from Caatinga biome plants, wich are effective against Ae. at different stage (eggs, larvae, pulp adult); identify promising plant species with insecticidal activity well terpenic compounds in best profile. keywords aegypti, essential oil, Northeast Brazil were searched on Scielo, Pubmed, ‘Portal dos Periódicos Capes’ ScienceDirect platforms. Hence, great potential these larvae adults identified for repellents oviposition supression. Of all those genera Cordia, Croton, Piper, Lippia several Lamiaceae family can be highlighted aegypti. Analyzing that showed larvicidal concetrations <100 ppm, ?-Caryophyllene, Caryophyllene oxide, Spathulenol, 1,8-cineole Thymol common majority acetylcholinesterase inhibitory demonstrated. This study assist search insecticide, including pointing out specific applied research area.
