“…Our recent work has presented the essential oil of Allium sativum as a potent ovicide against Ae. aegypti , which was found at par with the WHO-recommended synthetic insecticide temephos [ 35 ]. In another work, Sarma et al [ 8 ] demonstrated the success of using combinations of plant-based terpene compounds against Ae.…”

“…The colony of Ae. aegypti was maintained in the Laboratory of Entomology Gauhati University since 2015, with no exposure to any insecticides [ 8 , 9 , 35 ]. Originally the susceptible, laboratory-reared egg strips of the mosquito were collected from the Indian Council of Medical Research, Dibrugarh.…”

“…Bedini [24] reported the oviposition deterrence and toxicity effect of L. angustifolia on adults of common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata Meigen). In general, many plant EOs have been reported to have an ovicidal effect and high potential to be developed into oviposition deterrent, ovicidal, and adulticidal agents for controlling populations of insects [40][41][42].…”

Plant essential oils may serve as safe alternatives to detrimental synthetic pesticides due to relatively lower side effects on the environment and non-targeted organisms. The current study was conducted to investigate the ovicidal toxicity and physiological disruptions of six medicinal plant essential oils, including Artemisia annua L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Origanum vulgare L., Rosmarinus officinalis Spenn., Satureja hortensis L., and Thymus vulgaris L., on elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola (Mull.). The LC50 (Lethal Concentration to kill 50% of tested insects) values of 122.8, 287.5, 152.8, 180.6, 315.9, and 1366.2 ppm were recorded for T. vulgaris, L. angustifolia, A. annua, S. hortensis, R. officinalis, and O. vulgare, respectively, 72 h after treatment of 3-day-old eggs of the pest. Significant decreases in the amounts of glucose, protein, and triglyceride macromolecules were also observed after treatment. The application of essential oils derived from T. vulgaris, A. annua, and S. hortensis at 400 ppm revealed 100% ovicidal activity. Accordingly, tested essential oils, particularly the essential oil of T. vulgaris, have been promising potential as biorational insecticides in the management of X. luteola.

“…Looking back to the previous literature, it was noticed that essential oils were widely tested for their mosquitocidal properties. Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles stephensi were targeted by maximum number of such studies [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] . For the enhancement of efficacy of essential oils as mosquitocide, some studies also prepared and tested different mixtures of essential oils [34] .…”

North-East India is considered as one of 34 biodiversity hotspots across the world. The rich floral diversity of this region is less highlighted for its insecticidal property. Being a major vector of different dreadful diseases, mosquito gain more importance in now-a-days. Such mosquito population are trying to control using chemical agents but botanicals are considered as safe and effective alternative to chemical insecticide in recent times. In this context, North-East India hold a specific position due to its high floral diversity. Therefore, our investigation has targeted to record the study which tested mosquitocidal properties of plant essential oils against two important vector mosquito species viz. Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus in this particular area. The present review reported that 52 and 54 plant essential oils from different plant parts have tested against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. Majority of these essential oils were obtained from leaves part of the Rutaceae family.
