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.

We examined the adulticidal activity of 34 plant essential oils when they were sprayed on female Culex pipiens pallens adults. At concentrations of 1000 ppm, four oils, namely, cardamom, coriander, rosemary, and sandalwood, had adulticidal activities ranging from 68% to 98% at 1hr after treatment. Insecticidal efficacy decreased with all essential oils at 6 and 24 hr after treatment; however, sandalwood maintained an efficacy rate of over 85%. Sandalwood oil had the highest adulticidal activity with an LC 50 value of 445 ppm at 1 hr after treatment. GC/MS analysis revealed that the major components of sandalwood oil were asantalol (69.4%) and b -santalol (15.3%). In the insecticidal activity of major monoterpene components of the four oils, a-santalol and b -santalol proved to have the lowest LC 50 values 1, 6, and 24 hr after treatment. When PBO, DEF, TPP, and DEM known inhibitors of enzyme-related insecticide resistance promotion, were mixed with each of the four essential oils, a synergistic effect was observed in the mixture of PBO (100 ppm) and sandalwood (500 ppm) up to more than 80%, and the effect was maintained up to 24 hr after treatment.

“…Plants that are source of molecules with phage inhibitory, repellent and insecticidal actions, in addition to substances that are able to change growth regulation, are a good alternative to the use of insecticides. Essential oils, produced in the secondary metabolism of plants, have also been shown to be a good source of materials with insecticidal, larvicidal and repellent action [15,[22][23][24][25] . Botanical species Aniba duckei Kostermans, of Lauraceae family [26][27] , synonym of Aniba rosaeodora Ducke [28][29][30] , has many common names, like: pau-rosa, pau-rosa-doamazonas and umbauba (Brazil), rosewood (English speaking countries), bois de rose femelle (French Guyana), enclit rosenhout (Suriname), cara-cara (Guyana) [30] and palo de rosa, in Castilian speaking Amazonian countries [31] .…”

ABSTRACT-Aedes aegypti mosquito is the major vector of zika, chikungunya, and dengue fever. These diseases incidence has been growing rapidly in many points of the globe in the past few years. And because there's no vaccine for them yet, the best way to fight those diseases is to attack their vector, specially by eliminating potential sites for its oviposition and larvae growth. Nowadays, organophosphorus insecticides are used in increasing doses, which targets Aedes aegypti resistant populations. Aniba duckei Kostermans, which is known as rosewood and belongs to the Lauraceae family, is a species with trees up to 30 meters tall and 1 meter in trunk diameter. It's essential oil is used in perfumery due to its high content of linalool. This research identified the components of essential oil from Aniba duckei Kostermans thin branches and leaves and then applied it as larvicide against Aedes aegypti, and its effects were measured by calculation of concentration at which half larvae die (LC 50 ). Average yield found for oil by plant was 1.93% by mass. The major component in rosewood essential oil is linalool, whose concentration was found 89.34% by mass. LC 50 for the essential oil was 250.61 (±2.20) µg mL -1 , for l-linalool, 279.89 (±2.12) µg mL -1 , and for dl-linalool was 346.73 (±2.14) µg mL -1 .
