“…Alternative approaches should thus be sought. Many new specific vector control strategies aim either to directly attenuate or even eliminate vector population survival, such as genetic identification and modification of mosquitoes [73,74], special manipulation of the insect vector species microbiome [75,76], spatial repellents against infected vector insect [77,78,79,80,81], eave tubes [82] and using liposomes as in situ slow-release nano-carriers to deliver chemicals [83]; or target the natural history of pathogens within their vectors such as the incorporation of anti-pathogenic chemosterilants like pyriproxyfen within insecticide formulations to block pathogen transmission [22].…”

Background: In Iran, the prospect of malaria control relies mainly on insecticides used against the genus Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) as important vectors of malaria, arboviruses, and so on. Only eight out of 30 malaria mosquito vectors (Anopheles species) have been examined for insecticide resistance in Iran. This study aimed to review articles related to the incremental trend in insecticide resistance and their mechanisms among anopheline malaria vectors in Iran. Methods: A literature review was conducted based on such search engines as Iran doc, Web of Science, SID, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar websites using the following keywords: "Anopheles," "Malaria," "Resistance," "Vectors," "Insecticide Resistance," and "Iran" for data collection. Published papers in English or Persian covering 1980 to 2020 were reviewed. Results: A total of 1125 articles were screened, only 16 of which were filtered to be pertinent in this review. While most of the mosquito vectors of malaria, such as Anopheles stephensi, were resistant to DDT, dieldrin, malathion, and becoming less susceptible to deltamethrin and other synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, few like Anopheles fluviatilis s. l. were susceptible to all insecticides. A disseminating trend in insecticide resistance among different anopheline mosquito vector species was evident. Metabolic and insecticide target-site resistance mechanisms were involved with organochlorines and pyrethroids, respectively. Conclusions: Insecticide resistance is becoming a severe scourge to the effectiveness of vector-borne disease management measures. This event is especially critical in developing and marginalized communities that applied chemical-based vector elimination programs for malaria; therefore, it is crucial to monitor insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in Iran using biochemical and molecular tools.

Cancer is a fatal disease that causes around 9 million deaths annually in developing and developed countries worldwide. Recently, natural products as alternatives for chemical agents have become a growing area of interest. Essential oils (EOs) are secondary metabolites of the plant, with a wide range of bioactivities, such as the anticancer effect. The present systematic review attempts to collect and document the recent studies from 01.01.2016 to 12.31.2020, indicating EOs as anticancer agents in in-vitro studies; data of 144 reports have been extracted. Anticancer effects of 187 distinct EOs on 112 cell lines were summarized; this is a valuable bank for researchers finding proper EO as an anticancer agent. Some EOs having comparable effects with conventional drugs have been suggested. These EOs are good candidates for further studies, such as in-vivo investigations.

Malaria is the most important vector-borne disease; however, mosquito repellents are still a practical approach for controlling malaria, especially in endemic regions. Due to the side effects of synthetic repellents such as N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), the development of natural repellents has received much attention. In this study, nanoliposomes containing 0.5 and 2.5% w/v Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil were firstly prepared with particle sizes of 119 ± 6 and 195 ± 9 nm. Their morphologies and loading of the essential oil in the particles were then investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) analyses. The nanoliposomes were finally jellified to increase their viscosity and facilitate topical usage. The complete protection time of the nanoliposomal gel containing 2.5% C. zeylanicum essential oil was significantly longer than that of 2.5% DEET against Anopheles stephensi: 303 ± 10 > 242 ± 12 min, p < 0.001 . Moreover, the prepared nanoformulation was stable for at least six months at 4 and 26°C. Therefore, the prepared prototype could be considered a natural repellent against the main malaria mosquito vector in field conditions. In addition, it is suggested to be investigated against other important factors mosquitoes.
