Guava leaf oil showed strong repellent effects against different mosquito species, particularly exhibiting potent irritant and repellent effects against Culex quinquefasciatus. However, the repellency action was weaker against Anopheles epiroticus. The study suggests that guava oil has potential as a plant-based mosquito repellent for future mosquito control programs.
Volatile organic compounds from various plants have received popular interest as one of the vector control tools due to their eco-friendliness and insect-repellent activities. In this study, an excito-repellency assay system was used to examine the noncontact repellency, contact excitation, and knockdown (KD) effects of guava leaf (Psidium guajava L.) oil against Anopheles minimus (Theobald), Anopheles epiroticus (Linton & Harbach), and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say).The organic components of guava oil were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis with DL-limonene (17.4%), cymene (5.49%), and a-terpinene (5.20%) as the major constituents. At concentrations of 2.5 and 5.0%, 100% escape of An. minimus was recorded in the contact assay and 96-98% escape in the noncontact assay. Guava oil stimulated potent irritant (92% escape) and repellent (61-86% escape) effects against Cx. quinquefasciatus. A lower repellency action was observed against An. epiroticus (17-20% escape). No KD effect was observed for guava oil against An. minimus and Cx. quinquefasciatus at any concentration. However, An. epiroticus was more prone to KD effects, with the highest percentage KD (44% in nonescape group) observed with 5.0% guava oil in the noncontact assay. Mortalities of 35% and 11% were observed for An. epiroticus in the nonescape groups in the contact and noncontact assays, respectively. Concentrations of 1.0% and 2.5% guava oil led to <2% mortality in An. minimus. Our findings highlight guava oil as a promising plantbased mosquito repellent that can be included in insecticide formulations for future mosquito control programs.
