ABSTRACT

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are important vectors that transmit arboviruses to human populations. METHODS: Natural products were obtained and tested against larvae collected from the field in Fortaleza, capital of Ceará state. RESULTS: The essential oils of Syzygium aromaticum (Ae. aegypti LC50 = 32.7 ppm and Ae. albopictus LC50 = 138.1 ppm) and Croton nepetaefolius (Ae. aegypti LC50 = 81.7 ppm and Ae. albopictus LC50 = 76.1 ppm) showed the most intense larvicidal activity. CONCLUSIONS: The essential oils and methyl esters showed greater larvicidal activity than did the ethanol extracts.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Aedes aegypti e Aedes albopictus são os principais vetores dos vírus Dengue, Zika e Chikungunya. Extratos vegetais e óleos essenciais vêm sendo utilizados em pesquisas como alternativas aos inseticidas sintéticos tradicionalmente utilizados nos programas de controle dessas doenças. Métodos: de julho a novembro de 2017, foi realizado um levantamento de artigos científicos publicados entre os anos 2000 e 2016 nas bases de dados Scielo, Science Direct e Scopus. Foram utilizados os descritores controlados "culicidae", "óleos essenciais" e "extratos vegetais" com interposição do operador boleano "AND". Resultados: inicialmente, foram obtidos 239 artigos. Dezesseis artigos ­ cinco apareciam em mais de uma base de dados e 11, cujos conteúdos não estavam disponíveis na íntegra, foram excluídos. Dos 223 artigos resultantes, 112 foram excluídos por contemplarem outras espécies de culicídeos (63) e pela não realização de ensaio larvicida (49). Dos 111 artigos restantes, 42 não apresentavam valores referentes à CL50, resultando em 69 artigos cujos conteúdos foram analisados. Foram identificadas 219 espécies vegetais, pertencentes a 43 famílias botânicas, com destaque para Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae, Rutaceae, Cupressaceae, Asteraceae, Pinaceae e Lauraceae. Os óleos essenciais foram os produtos vegetais mais amplamente testados contra Ae. aegypti (158) e Ae. albopictus (43), bem como os que exibiram maior eficiência na mortalidade das larvas (CL50 < 100ppm). Conclusões: a busca por novas estratégias de controle de insetos vetores de patógenos que substituam os inseticidas sintéticos tradicionalmente utilizados vem ganhando destaque. Extratos vegetais e óleos essenciais com efeito larvicida significativo constituem promissoras alternativas ao controle de doenças transmitidas por esses artrópodes.(AU)


Introduction: PAedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya viruses. Plant extracts and essential oils have been used as an alternative to synthetic insecticides commonly used in control programmes of these diseases. Methods: From July to November 2017 a survey of scientific articles published between 2000 and 2016 years was carried out in the databases Scielo, Science Direct and Scopus. The descriptors "culicidae", "essential oils" and "vegetal extracts" were used with the input of the boolean operator "AND". Results: A total of 239 articles were obtained. Sixteen articles - 5 that appeared in more than one database and 11 whose contents were not available in full - were initially excluded. Of the 223 resulting articles, 112 were excluded because they included other species of culicidae (63) and the non-performance of larvicidal tests (49). Of the 111 remaining articles, 42 presented no LC50 values, resulting, at the end of the selection, in 69 articles whose contents were analyzed. A total of 219 plant species belonging to 43 botanical families were identified, especially Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae, Rutaceae, Cupressaceae, Asteraceae, Pinaceae and Lauraceae. Essential oils were the most widely tested plant products against Ae. aegypti (158) and Ae. albopictus (43), as well as those that showed greater efficiency in the mortality of the larvae (LC50 < 100ppm). Conclusions: The search for new strategies for vector control that replace the traditional insecticides used has been highlighted. Plant extracts and essential oils with pronounced larvicidal effect are promising alternatives to the control of diseases transmitted by these arthropods.(AU)
