“…contra a praga em questão (Leyva, 2009;Teles, 2009). Contra o Aedes aegypti alguns estudos mostram que os componentes terpênicos, alcoóis e aldeídos dos óleos essenciais são os principais responsáveis pela atividade inseticida ou larvicida (Lucia et al, 2007;Lee, 2006;Panella et al, 2005;Carvalho et al, 2003;Araújo et al, 2003;Karr & Cotas, 1998).…”

Evaluation of the larvicidal effectof the essential oil of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger) against the mosquito Aedes aegypti. This study analyzes the larvicidal effect of the oil of Zingiber officinale Roscoe against larvae in third stage of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus 1792). The essential oil was extracted quantitatively by hydrodistillation and we calculated the oil's LC 50 from Reed-Muench (1938) and Pizzi (1950) methods, respectively. The essential oil obtained LC 50 of 76.07 (±2.24) ug mL -1 , and yield of 0.52% m/v. The results indicate that the essential oil assessed has substances that provide larvicidal effect against Aedes aegypti.

“…Porém, o uso frequente e em doses cada vez maiores desses produtos tem evidenciado os principais problemas devido ao uso destes inseticidas: o aparecimento de populações resistentes de mosquitos a esses produtos e os danos ambientais provocados por seu uso intensivo (Luna et al, 2004;Carvalho & Silva, 2000;Polanczyk et al, 2003).…”

Dental caries and periodontal disease are associated with oral pathogens. Several plant derivatives have been evaluated with respect to their antimicrobial effects against such pathogenic microorganisms. Lippia sidoides Cham (Verbenaceae), popularly known as "Alecrimpimenta" is a typical shrub commonly found in the Northeast of Brazil. Many plant species belonging to the genus Lippia yield very fragrant essential oils of potential economic value which are used by the industry for the commercial production of perfumes, creams, lotions, and deodorants. Since the leaves of L. sidoides are also extensively used in popular medicine for the treatment of skin wounds and cuts, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the composition and antimicrobial activity of L. sidoides essential oil. The essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. Twelve compounds were characterized, having as major constituents thymol (56.7%) and carvacrol (16.7%). The antimicrobial activity of the oil and the major components was tested against cariogenic bacterial species of the genus Streptococcus as well as Candida albicans using the broth dilution and disk diffusion assays. The essential oil and its major components thymol and carvacrol exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against the organisms tested with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 0.625 to 10.0 mg/mL. The most sensitive microorganisms were C. albicans and Streptococcus mutans. The essential oil of L. sidoides and its major components exert promising antimicrobial effects against oral pathogens and suggest its likely usefulness to combat oral microbial growth.

“…The use of combinations of multiple insecticides and phytochemicals is one such strategy that may be suitable for mosquito control. New sources of natural materials have been reported in the literature that can inhibit growth, reproduction and oviposition (Consoli & Oliveira 1994) or act as repellents (Carvalho et al 2003). We previously described the effects of latex from Calotropis procera (Ait.)…”
