Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on identifying ZIKV infection in mosquitoes from urban forests in Manaus, collecting a total of 905 samples from different mosquito species over several years.
- * Findings revealed that 15% of certain mosquito pools tested positive for ZIKV, marking the first evidence of naturally infected mosquitoes in the Amazon area.
Considerable efforts have been spent on the development of biodefensives based on the encapsulation of essential oils for controlling of urban pests from their larval stage, especially as anopheline controlling agents. The larval source management of is important for malaria prevention. For this reason, this research proposes larvicidal biodefensives based on polymeric particles loaded with essential oil, considering the influence of temperature (35 °C) and preservatives on the formulation stability.
