Larvicidal, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of four essential oils and their constituents against Aedes albopictus, and nanoemulsion preparation

Yuling Li et al.

Summary: The potential of essential oils (EOs) as natural alternatives for mosquito control has gained significant interest. This study evaluated four EOs and identified their active constituents. The results showed that these EOs and their active compounds exhibited potent larvicidal and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Nanoemulsions were also prepared, which demonstrated improved stability and duration of activity compared to the EOs themselves.

Differential Antimicrobial Effect of Essential Oils and Their Main Components: Insights Based on the Cell Membrane and External Structure

Sergio Andrade-Ochoa et al.

Summary: Research has shown that essential oils like oregano and cinnamon exhibit strong biological activity against bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Oregano essential oil demonstrated the best antibacterial activity, while cinnamon essential oil showed the best fungicidal activity. Major components such as thymol and carvacrol also displayed effective antimicrobial properties, with cinnamaldehyde acting as a potent antifungal compound.

Larvicidal, adulticidal and repellent activities against Aedes aegypti L. of two commonly used spices, Origanum vulgare L. and Thymus vulgaris L

Aimee A. de Oliveira et al.

Summary: The essential oils obtained from Origanum vulgare and Thymus vulgaris were evaluated for their larvicidal, adulticidal, and repellent activities against Aedes aegypti. The results show that these essential oils have the potential to be developed as ecofriendly insecticides for controlling Ae. aegypti, highlighting their significance in vector control efforts in tropical and subtropical regions.
