The yeast-encapsulated orange oil (YEOO) is a novel larvicide under development against vector mosquitoes. Despite its efficiency against Aedes aegypti (L.) in small scale experiments, its applicability in vector control can be influenced by other effects on mosquito behaviour or physiology.

- Essential oils, specifically orange oil, show promise as effective mosquito larvicides, especially when delivered through a yeast-based system to enhance stability against environmental factors.
- In tests involving various Aedes aegypti strains from Brazil, the yeast-encapsulated orange oil (YEOO) showed strong larvicidal efficacy, effectively impacting both resistant and non-resistant strains under controlled and natural conditions.
- Overall, YEOO proved to be a powerful alternative to traditional neurotoxic insecticides, highlighting its potential for use in vector control strategies due to its effectiveness against resilient mosquito populations.
