“…Therefore, the results were discussed with those for other insects. Similar cuticular changes were observed in Chrysomyia albiceps larvae treated with spinosad; a metabolite of actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa, ginger roots of Zingiber officinale and garlic fruits of Allium sativum (Shams El-Din 2010) as well as C. megacephlala treated with volatile oils of Eucalytal eucalyptal (Sukontason et al 2004) and neem extract (Siriwattanarungsee et al 2008). Comparable swelling, blebbing and distortion of the body cover in intestinal and liver parasites were observed following treatment with essential oils of myrrh (Massoud et al 2012), Nigella sativa Shalaby and El-Moghazy 2013) and Allium sativum (Shalaby and Farag 2014).…”

In this study, the essential oils of camphor and lavender were tested in vitro against the third instar larvae of Lucilia sericata for the first time, following dipping toxicity technique. The toxicity results revealed that L. sericata larvae were susceptible to the applied essential oils. Lavender oil was more effective than camphor in killing of L. sericata larvae. With 32 % concentration, the mortality percentages of larvae were 100 and 93.3 %, respectively. Light and scanning electron microscopic examinations were done to determine the cuticular changes of L. sericata larvae following exposure to the applied essential oils. Larvae showed cuticular swelling and distortion after oil treatment, but its level was greater with lavender oil. The current study suggested that an alternative, effective and natural product can be developed as larvicides against L. sericata using camphor and lavender oils.

“…Aliphatic alcohols appear to affect the cuticle of insects, thereby favoring the insecticidal action of some synthetic compounds. In addition, terpenes also affect components of the epicuticular waxes of insects, which could be a mechanism of pesticidal activity [79]. Repellent and ovicidal activities were also observed for different extracts from Schinus molle [80], and Eucalyptus urograndis essential oil had high insecticidal and repellent activities for R. neglectus nymphs [76,77].…”

Many insects affect food production and human health, and in an attempt to control these insects the use of synthetic insecticides has become widespread. However, this has resulted in the development of resistance in these organisms, human diseases, contamination of food, and pollution of the environment. Plants natural products and essential oil components such as terpenes and phenylpropenes have been shown to have a significant potential for insect control. However, the molecular properties related to their insecticidal activity are not well understood. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the toxicity of terpene compounds against three insects of importance to human health: lice, cockroaches, and Triatominae bugs and to evaluate which molecular descriptors are important in the bioactivity of terpenes. For the insects studied, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed in order to predict the insecticidal activity of terpene compounds. The obtained QSAR models indicated that the activity of these compounds depends on their ability to reach the targets and to interact with them. The QSAR analysis can be used to predict the bioactivities of other structurally related molecules. Our findings may provide an important contribution in the search for new compounds with insecticidal activity.
