Abstract

The use of synthetic chemical insecticides for the control of insects is dangerous, affecting man and animals, contaminating the air, water, soil and the food chain, causing serious effects on health and promoting the development of resistance in several species of pests and vectors. All these problems increase the interest in the development of alternative insecticides with lower environmental impact. The objective of this investigation was to determine the insecticidal effect of the essential oil of Ocimum sanctum var. cubensis on the species of flies Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius). The essential oil was extracted from the aerial parts of the plant by the method of hydro-distillation in a Clevenger equipment. The colony of muscoid diptera was maintained according to the standard procedure of the Medical Entomology and Forensic Laboratory of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute - LEMEF / FIOCRUZ. To evaluate the effects of the essential oil on the post-embryonic development of the flies, six concentrations (5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) were tested in topical application 1?L / larva. The result was that in all the treatments the larvae showed lower body mass values when compared with the control groups. The analysis of the duration of the larval and pupal stages, as well as the period of neolarva-adult showed a behavior that establishes a difference between the treated groups and the control groups. The use of this essential oil did not influence the biological variable sexual reason. It is concluded that the essential oil of Ocimum sanctum var. cubensis showed insecticidal activity against the species Cochliomyia macellaria, affecting body mass parameters and duration of the neolarva-adult period, causing mortality at all tested concentrations, so it can be considered as a botanical insecticide with lower environmental impact for the alternative control of this species of flies.
