N2 - More than half of the human population is exposed for contracting mosquito-borne infections. Climate change and the emergence of resistant strains traditionally used insecticides have motivated the search for new agents able to control mosquito populations. Essential oils have been effective repellents and larvicidas agents. The aim of this review is to denote the investigations carried out in recent years on the larvicidal activity of essential oils and their constituents against Aedes, Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes as well as displaying the latest reports about his possible mechanism of action.
