The excito-repellent activity of five essential oils extracted from local plants against dengue and malaria vectors in Burkina Faso
Mahamoudou Balboné · Olivier Gnankine · Moussa Namountougou · Dieudonné Diloma Soma3 · Samuel Fogné Drabo · Rahim Romba · Imaël Henri Nestor Bassolé1 · Roch Kounbobr Dabiré
Using chemical insecticides remains the main way to prevent and manage dengue and malaria, two main mosquito-borne diseases. However, the vectors of these diseases have developed resistance to chemical insecticides. Essential oils (EOs) could be used as alternatives because besides their larvicidal and adulticidal properties, they have repelle(...)
