Toxicity of Trixis vauthieri DC essential oil on Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae), a proven vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil

CONCLUSION: The results obtained suggest that T. vauthieri essential oil is fairly promising as an insecticidal potential against L. longipalpis. A more detailed analysis of the oil's phytochemical composition is necessary to identify active and pure compounds that can be used in vector control of visceral leishmaniasis.PMID:38648417 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.383642
