Sixty-three essential oils isolated from Bolivian plants were tested on Triatoma infestans for ovicidal and larvicidal properties. Three types of test were used: topical application on insects, nymphs on impregnated paper and eggs on impregnated paper. Twenty oils showed an interesting activity on n

✦ Synopsis
The insecticidal activity of essential oils from 52 Bolivian plant species has been evaluated on Aedes aegypti larvae. The active components of essential oils showing an interesting larvicidal effect have been studied. The monoterpenes E-anethol and E-nerolidol were found to be the active principles of the most toxic essential oils. The lethal concentrations (LC 50 and LC 95 ) of some essential oils, E-anethol, E-nerolidol and a reference insecticide (Temephos) are given.
