The use of plants with repellent properties has been evidenced as an important tool in the biocontrol of Culicidae that threaten public health. Studies on the main genera used for the biological control of these vectors were systematically reviewed including articles published from 2000 to 2019. Specialized databases such as Web of Science, Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus BioMed, Bioline, Doaj and Scielo and the descriptors volatile oils, culicidae, arthropod vectors and medicinal plants were used. In the present study, 121 species distributed across 31 families were identified, with Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae and Verbenaceae possessing the largest number of species. For EO extraction virtually all plant parts were found to be used, including seeds, roots, rhizomes, stems, leaves, bracts, fruits, bark and inflorescences, these being mainly extract by hydrodistillation and steam distillation extraction. Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was the main analytical technique used to identify the EO constituents. It is necessary to take into account the importance of developing alternative products which do not harm nature or the human species, nor any of the properties and uses these vegetables possess, which are essential for biological control.

具有驱避特性的植物的使用已被证明是对威胁公众健康的葫芦科生物防治的重要工具。对这些载体的生物学控制的主要属的研究进行了系统的综述，包括2000年至2019年发表的文章。专门的数据库，例如Web of Science，Pubmed，Science Direct，Scopus BioMed，Bioline，Doaj和Scielo以及描述符挥发油使用了葫芦科，节肢动物载体和药用植物。在本研究中，确定了分布在31个科中的121种，其中唇形科，桃金娘科和马鞭草科拥有最多的物种。对于EO提取，几乎所有植物部分都被使用，包括种子，根，根茎，茎，叶，片，果实，树皮和花序，这些主要是通过加氢蒸馏和蒸汽蒸馏萃取来提取的。气相色谱-质谱联用（GC-MS）是用于鉴定EO成分的主要分析技术。有必要考虑开发替代产品的重要性，这些替代产品既不损害自然或人类种类，也不损害这些蔬菜具有的任何特性和用途，而这些特性和用途对于生物防治至关重要。
