Dissertação (Mestrado em Medicina Tropical e Saúde Pública) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2008.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/3570The control and combat culicines have presented difficuties related to the emergence of resistant mosquito populations, ostensibly occasioned by the use of current synthetic insecticides. This reality creates the necessity of looking for new substances insecticide and constant development of new formulations. Face to this situation, phytochemical studies have demonstrated that plants are an abundant source of new active principles. In this work, a quantitative and qualitative review was carried out, between the period of 1970 and 2010, looking for plants that had presented insecticidal effect on culicines, with importance to public health. There were found 174 botanical species, distributed in 56 families, with bigger concentration of species in the Lamiaceae (15 species), Fabaceae (12 species), Asteraceae (12 species), Cucurbitaceae (9 species) and Myrtaceae (9 species) families. The main insecticidal effects founded in the related articles were: larvicidal action, mosquitocidal action, growth inhibition and repellency effect. About the insecticide activity, the Copaifera reticulata and Piper nigrum were the plants that presented the larger potentials for Culicinae. The diterpenoide, acid 3-ß-acetoxylabdan-8(17)-13-dien-15-oico, isolated of C. reticulata, it was more active substance against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus, following by the substances isolated of P. nigrum: piperina, pellitorine, piperecida, guineensina and retrofractamida that active against Ae. aegypti, Ae. togoi, Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. pipiens pallens.application/pdfAcesso AbertoInseticidas botânicosControle de culicíneosInseticidas alternativosBotanic insecticideCulicinae controlAlternative insecticidesCIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::PARASITOLOGIADissertação
