This study aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oil microparticles (EO) of Melissa officinalis L. against Aedes aegypti. The leaves of M. officinalis were collected in the municipality of São José de Ribamar, Maranhão, Brazil, later dried, crushed and ground.All larvae presented mortality in all concentrations tested. The LC50 obtained for the EO was 40.60 mg/L and for the microparticles 22.10 mg/L, both classified as active according to the adopted criterion, but it is observed that the microparticles increased the larvicidal potential of the EO.

This study aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oil microparticles (EO) of Melissa officinalis L. against Aedes aegypti. The leaves of M. officinalis were collected in the municipality of São José de Ribamar, Maranhão, Brazil, later dried, crushed and ground.All larvae presented mortality in all concentrations tested. The LC50 obtained for the EO was 40.60 mg/L and for the microparticles 22.10 mg/L, both classified as active according to the adopted criterion, but it is observed that the microparticles increased the larvicidal potential of the EO. Through the results obtained, it is concluded that the microparticles formulated with the EO proved to be efficient in the face of the larvae of Aedes aegypti, being interesting and important in controlling and combating the mosquito that transmits dengue.
