Chemistry and Bioactivity of Essential Oils: Literature Survey and from Vietnam.

Using essential oils to control vectors, intermediate hosts, and disease-causing microorganisms is a promising approach. The genus in the family Euphorbiaceae is a large genus, with many species containing large amounts of essential oils, however, essential oil studies are limited in terms of the number of species investigated. In this work, the aerial parts of growing wild in Vietnam were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
