Resumen
Descripción
The study of substances of botanical origin is fundamental for the development of new effective alternatives for the control of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Culicidae), a vector of arboviruses in humans. In this study, the potential of two new dillapiole derivatives, propyl ether dillapiole and piperidyl dillapiole, was tested to determine their ability to deter oviposition and their larvicidal and residual effects against Ae. aegypti under simulated field conditions, as alternatives for the control of this mosquito. The ability of these substances to deter oviposition by pregnant Ae. aegypti females was assessed in the laboratory, and then the larvicide and residual effects of different concentrations were tested under simulated field conditions.
