Más datosThe study aimed to describe the effectiveness of essential oil plants for Aedes aegypti mosquito vector control.
MethodsThis systematic review selection process following with 2015 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guideline. The source of the articles from databases international journal were Scopus, Pubmed, Scinapse and Google Scholar.
ResultNatural control management with essential oil is the way of alternative for larvicidal mosquito control especially A. aegypti. The essential oil for many plants can use for larvicidal against A. aegypti as Piper batle L., Tinospora rhumpii, Azadiractha indica, Persea americana, Piper aduncum, Leucas aspera, Eucaliptus camaldulensis, Ottonia anisum, Salvia Plebeian, Lantana camara, and Syzygium aromaticum with 100% mortality larvae A. aegypti at 48h.
ConclusionsThe vector borne diseases must be used to integrate vector management control with essential oils plants.
Diseases transmitted by vectors, in particular dengue, are a diseases that threatens public health worldwide.1 The global burden of dengue fever cases is 96 million cases per year, with a death total of 9.110 per year.2,3
Nowadays, dengue control is often carried out by chemical control which will continuously have adverse effects such as the death of non-target organisms, pollution of the environment and endangering public health. In addition, this method also costs a lot of money and can cause resistance to mosquitoes.4,5
Biological control can be an alternative to the control of vector mosquitoes by reducing the population of vector mosquitoes using natural materials. The alternative to vector control use essential oils or plants oil and extracts has been encouraged by many researchers.5 Plant essential oils can interfere the respiratory, digestive, metabolic, behavioral and psychological systems of insects, especially mosquitoes.6
Therefore, a systematic review of the literature based on a review is needed that will provide insight into the efficacy of plant essential oils as a novel means of controlling the Aedes aegypti vector.
MethodsStudy selectionThis systematic review selection procees following with 2015 PRISMA/Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Guideline.7 Literature review sources come from online searches of national and international reputable journal databases and e-books.

Various efforts have been made to prevent the emergence of mosquito resistance to certain chemicals.10,11 Therefore, a more environmentally friendly, effective, efficient and safe way to control health is needed. Biological control can be an alternative in the fight against vector mosquitoes by reducing the populations of vector mosquitoes and by using natural materials.5
One of the alternatives that can be used in mosquito vector control began to be encouraged by researchers. Essential oils from plants can damage with respiratory, digestive, metabolic, behavioral and psychological of insects especially mosquitoes.6,12
The essential oil for many plants can use for larvicidal against A. aegypti as Piper batle L., Tinospora rhumpii, Azadiractha indica, Persea americana, Piper aduncum, Leucas aspera, Eucaliptus camaldulensis, Ottonia anisum, Salvia Plebeian, Lantana camara, and Syzygium aromaticum with 100% mortality larvae A. aegypti at 48h.
DiscussionVarious researches from experts regarding the ability of essential oils to kill mosquito vectors have encouraged further exploration of the possibility of using essential oils from certain plants as an alternative step in controlling diseases transmitted by mosquito vectors. The chemical compound content of essential oils that have been studied from various types of plants shows that locally sourced plant chemical content is more effective than previous research reports but with slight variations. Factors that cause different variations are usually associated with the differences and similarities in the chemotype of each species observed. In addition, the influence of environmental differences also affects the development and physiology of these species.12,13
The results showed that essential oils from various plants have toxic substances for mosquito larvae so that they can kill mosquito larvae with an average mortality rate of more than 85% for 24h and a mortality rate of 100% mosquito larvae for 48h although there is no significant difference in giving concentration levels of the plant's essential oil. Many plants have been believed to have a high biological ability to fight pathogenic microorganisms and insect pests. The difference in the level of essential oil toxicity is probably caused by differences in the variation in the content of chemical compounds that will determine the plant's ability to kill mosquito larvae.13,14
The content of the main chemical compounds of essential oils plant has been widely used as a formula in the management of pest and insect pathogen control because it is known to have high toxic and antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. The difference in resistance levels and insecticide susceptibility of various insect vectors, especially mosquitoes, can be caused by various factors including differences in physiological and biochemical processes of the insects themselves.12,14
ConclusionThis literature review concludes that essential oils from several plants have the potential to kill mosquito vectors so that this local essential oil can be used as a new way of managing mosquito vector control, especially in dengue hemorrhagic fever endemic areas and remote areas that are difficult to access by health facilities.12–14
