Abstract The essential oil of citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) has several biological activities, among them the insect repellent action. Some studies showed that cinnamic acid esters can be applied as natural pesticides, insecticides and fungicides. In this context, the objective of the present work ...
To control urban pests, especially cockroaches of the Periplaneta americana species, various pesticides have been developed that are increasingly potent and effective. However, the unrestrained application of pesticides has had negative consequences, such as the disappearance of some useful insect specie...
Control of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) with synthetic pesticides in Bolivia has become increasingly inefficient due to the development of resistance in the insects. In the Chaco region of Bolivia, guaraní populations have approached the problem by fumig...

Abstract Tetradenia riparia (Hochst.) Codd (Lamiaceae) is a species native to the African continent and used as an insect repellent. The objective of the study was to evaluate the larvicidal potential of essential oils (EOs) from the leaves, flower buds, and stem of T. riparia, collected in winter agains...
Introducción: El uso inapropiado de plaguicidas en alimentos y la resistencia que las plagas han adquirido frente a estos, han traído consigo problemas de salud pública; con el objetivo de disminuir el empleo de estas sustancias nocivas, se han realizado estudios biológicos con productos vegetales (a...
The main strategies against Triatoma infestans (primary vector responsible for the Chagas
disease transmission) are the elimination or reduction of its abundance in homes through the application of insecticides or repellents with residual power, and environmental management through the
improvement of hou...
Resumen: Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de repelencia espacial contra Ae. aegypti de dos compuestos químicos impregnados en diferentes tipos de telas. Material y métodos: El estudio se realizó en el periodo 2015-2016 en el Centro Regional de Investigación en Salud Pública, del Instituto Nacional de S...
Aedes aegypti é um mosquito de grande interesse para saúde pública, pois é o vetor de arbovírus, como dengue, chikungunya e Zika. Para o controle desse vetor, são utilizados o controle biológico, mecânico e o controle químico, com utilização de inseticidas e repelentes. Os repelentes são cons...
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To evaluate the adherence of pregnant women to personal protective measures against mosquito bites, recommended by the Ministry of Health, and to investigate the factors associated with the non-adoption of these measures. METHODS We interviewed 177 pregnant women between November 2...
