Conclusion
The current study confirmed that the essential oils of
Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon nardus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Lippia
multi!ora and Ocimum americanum have insecticidal properties.
L. multi!ora EO was efficient in comparison with the others tested.
Our current study showed that the activity of the two combined EOs, C.
nardus and O. americanum, was improved by the combinations at
certain proportions regarding the values of rate of mortality reaching at least
98%.
The EO of L. multi!ora and combinations of EO of
C. nardus and O. americanum could be valuable alternatives in
the malaria vector control.
