Among the main arboviruses affecting public health in tropical regions are dengue, zika, and chikungunya, transmitted mainly by mosquitoes of the genus, especially . In recent years, outbreaks have posed major challenges to global health, highlighting the need for integrated and innovative strategies for their control and prevention. Prevention strategies include the elimination of vectors and avoiding mosquito bites; this can be achieved through the use of bioinsecticides and repellents based on plant phytochemicals, as they offer sustainable, ecological, and low-cost alternatives. Mexico has a variety of plants from which both extracts and essential oils have been obtained which have demonstrated significant efficacy in repelling and/or killing insect vectors. This review examines the current knowledge on plant species found in Mexico which are promising options concerning synthetic compounds in terms of their repellent and insecticidal properties against mosquitoes of the genus and that are friendly to the environment and health.
在热带地区影响公共卫生的主要虫媒病毒中，有登革热、寨卡病毒和基孔肯雅热，主要由该属蚊子传播，尤其是 。近年来，疫情对全球卫生构成了重大挑战，凸显了制定综合创新防控策略的必要性。预防策略包括消除病媒和避免被蚊子叮咬；这可以通过使用基于植物植物化学物质的生物杀虫剂和驱虫剂来实现，因为它们提供了可持续、生态且低成本的替代方案。墨西哥有多种植物，从中提取的提取物和精油已证明在驱赶和/或杀死昆虫病媒方面具有显著功效。本综述探讨了目前关于在墨西哥发现的植物物种的知识，这些植物在针对该属蚊子的驱避和杀虫特性方面有望成为合成化合物的理想选择，并且对环境和健康友好。
