Researchers from the University of Tabuk in Saudi Arabia have conducted a study on the effectiveness of essential oils in controlling mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus. The study found that honeysuckle and patchouli essential oils were the most effective in killing mosquito larvae, with 100% mortality at 24 hours post-treatment. Nanoemulsions of these oils also showed higher larvicidal activity compared to bulk oils. The field study demonstrated that the oils and their nanoemulsions significantly reduced mosquito populations, with persistence for eight days post-treatment. The research suggests that these essential oils could be used as eco-friendly alternatives for mosquito vector management. [Extracted from the article] |
