Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the insecticidal and repellent properties of essential oils from four plants, targeting the flea Ctenocephalides felis, which affects pets and humans globally.
- - Using Gas Chromatography, researchers analyzed the chemical composition of the oils and tested their efficacy against different flea life stages, calculating lethal concentrations for each.
- - Results indicated that certain oils, particularly from Copaifera reticulata, showed significant insecticidal activity and residual effectiveness, making them potential alternatives to chemical pesticides.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the essential oil (EO) of against immature and adult stages of . The chemical composition of EO was determined by gas chromatography (GC). To evaluate the insecticidal activity, the egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages of were exposed to different concentrations of EO diluted in acetone and impregnated in filter paper in a concentration range of 25 to 200 μg.
