Insecticidal activity of essential oils from American native plants against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae): an introduction to their possible mechanism of action
Abstract Searching for new bioactive molecules to design insecticides is a complex process since pesticides should be highly selective, active against the vector, and bio-safe for humans. Aiming to find natural compounds for mosquito control, we evaluated the insecticidal activity of essential oils...
