Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop a variety of repellent products for personal use, made from extracts of natural plants from the southern region of the State of Mexico as a strategy to reduce the figures of diseases transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito (dengue, chikungunia and zica). The research is the result of the collaborative work of the Academic Group UTSEM-CA-1. The plants used were Ricinnus comunis, Artemisia ludoviciana, Cymbopogum citratus, Cucurbita maxima, Coffea arabica and Syzygium aromaticum. After conditioning these plants, extracts were obtained using organic solvents, different mixtures with extracts were formulated and their efficacy was tested by in vitro laboratory tests and skin tolerance tests, measuring the repellency in a period of time from one hour to five hours. Five repellent products for personal use were obtained: a patch, two products for spray skin application, liquid hand soap and an environmental incense. These five products, proved to repel mosquitoes in a similar way to commercial repellants classified as synthetic. In this way, the exploitation and use of the physicochemical properties of plants through the elaboration of products represents a strategy to reduce the infectious incidence of diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti, as a solution to current health problems in the region.
