Essential oils extracted from medicinal plants have been shown to be an alternative in the search for natural larvicides. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oil extracted from the leaves of Origanum vulgare L. leaves. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation at 100°C for 3 h, with chemical characterization through Gas Chromatography coupled to mass spectro...
This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition of hydroalcoholic extracts from the seeds of Persea americana (avocado) and evaluate the larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. The extracts were obtained by maceration in a 70% PA ethanol extractant solvent in 1:4/1:6/1:8 hydromodules (7 days), with subsequent concentration in a rotaevaporator. The larvicidal activity was performed by the method re...
This study evaluated the molluscicidal activity in front of the snail transmitting the schistosomes (Biomphalaria glabrata) of the essential oil of Origanum vulgare. The plant material was collected in the municipality of São Luis (MA). The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation at 100° C for 3h, with chemical characterization through Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). For mollus...
This study aimed to determine the chemical constituents and larvicidal activity of the essential oil of Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng against larvae of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The essential oil (EO) was extracted by hydrodistillation at 100 ° C for 3 hours. The chemical composition was obtained by Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC / MS). To assess larvicidal activity, Aedes aegypt...
This study aimed to determine the chemical constituents, toxicity, antioxidant potential and larvicidal activity of the essential oil of Aniba rosaeodora Ducke against larvae of Aedes aegypti. The essential oil (EO) was extracted by hydrodistillation at 100 ° C for 3h. The physicochemical parameters were determined and the chemical composition was obtained by Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC ...
