蚊子地理分布广泛，是从病毒到原生动物等多种病原生物的传播媒介。蚊子传播的疾病有着悠久的历史，其中一些疾病，如疟疾，几个世纪以来一直占据着主导地位。新的疾病，如登革热、寨卡病毒病等，不时被添加到列表中。病媒控制是管理蚊媒疾病的有效和广泛接受的策略。驱蚊剂是广泛应用于蚊媒疾病防治的重要产品系列。本文综述了植物源驱蚊剂的研究与开发活动，并根据其成果将其分为研究报告、专利和商业产品三类。结合当前的社会和市场趋势，讨论了植物基驱蚊剂的相关性。该综述揭示了研究人员致力于产品开发和有效创新产品进入市场的趋势。市场分析报告也证实了未来几年草药驱蚊剂的竞争优势。
Mosquitoes enjoy wide geographical distribution and act as vectors for diverse pathogenic organisms from viruses to protozoans. Mosquito-borne diseases have a long history with some of them like Malaria dominating the scene for centuries. New diseases like Dengue fever, Zika viral disease etc. get added to the list from time to time. Vector control is an effective and widely accepted strategy in the management of mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquito repellents are an important product range extensively used for the management of mosquito-borne diseases. The research and development activities on mosquito repellents of plant origin have been reviewed in this article and classified into three categories like research reports, patents and commercial products, based on their outcomes. The relevance of plant-based mosquito repellents is discussed with reference to current societal and market trends. The review has revealed an increasing trend among researchers towards product development and entry of effective and innovative products into the market. The market analysis reports also confirm competitive advantage for herbal repellents in the coming years.
