Abstract
Background: Insecticide resistance in sub-Saharan Africa and especially in Benin is a major public health issue hindering
the control of the malaria vectors. Each Anopheles species has developed a resistance to one or several classes of
the insecticides currently in use in the field. Therefore, it is urgent to find alternative compounds to conquer the
vector. In this study, the efficacies of essential oils of nine plant species, which are traditionally used to avoid
mosquito bites in Benin, were investigated. |
