Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential of essential oils (EOs) from three Togolese plants—Ageratum conyzoides, Eucalyptus citriodora, and Lantana camara—as mosquito repellents against Aedes aegypti, which can transmit diseases like dengue and yellow fever.
- The EOs were extracted through hydrodistillation and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties, revealing key compounds linked to their repellent effects.
- The results showed that all EOs exhibited strong insecticidal activity, with A. conyzoides achieving 100% mortality of Aedes aegypti at low concentrations after just 8 minutes of exposure.
