Abstract


Eucalyptus oils have distinctive smell that not preferably by mosquito and able to repellent mosquito. This research was evaluated chemical compositions and repellent activity of Eucalyptus tereticornis and Eucalyptus deglupta oils against C. quinquefasciatus mosquito. GC-MS analysis indentified that E. tereticornis and E. deglupta had 24 and 35 compounds with β-pinene and nerolidol as the major compounds, respectively. The IC50 and IC90 value of E. tereticornis and E. deglupta against C. quenquefasciatus were IC50: 0.08%, IC90: 6.37% and IC50: 0.04%, IC90: 7.23%, respectively. E. tereticornis oil showed 91.91% repellency while E. deglupta showed 94.05% repellency average at 8 % concentration for 4 h exposure times. These two oils were effective as repellent substances when compare with commercial DEET 15% with repellency average was 96.23%. The result show that E. tereticornis and E. deglupta oils could be considered as potent natural repellent agents against C. quinquefasciatus mosquito.
