Repellent activity of essential oils on haematophagous arthropods

doi:10.11853/j.issn.1003.4692.2013.04.030

Abstract

Abstract:

Currently, the use of synthetic chemicals to control insects and arthropods has caused environmental pollution and harm to human health. An alternative is to use natural products which have good insecticidal effects and are environment-friendly. Essential oils (EOs) extracted from various plants as valuable natural resources have been extensively tested to assess their repellent properties. Among the plants that hold promise as the source of EOs as repellents, Cymbopogon spp., Ocimum spp., and Eucalyptus spp. are most widely used. This article mainly reviews the repellent activity of EOs on haematophagous arthropods, the relationship between oil components and repellent activity, and the synergistic effect of their components.

Key words: Essential oil, Repellent activity, Haematophagous arthropod, Synergistic effect

摘要：

当前,化学合成药剂对昆虫和节肢动物的防治已引起环境的污染和威胁人类健康,而天然源产物具有良好的杀虫活性和环境安全性。作为一种有价值的天然源,从不同植物中提取的精油已广泛用于驱避试验,在有开发前景的精油作为驱避剂的植物中,香茅属、罗勒属和桉树属应用最为广泛。该文着重从植物精油对吸血节肢动物的驱避活性,植物精油中的成分和驱避活性之间的相关性及植物精油对驱避的增效作用等方面做一综述。

关键词: 植物精油, 驱避活性, 吸血节肢动物, 增效作用
