The recent spread of invasive mosquito species, such as Aedes albopictus and the seasonal sporadic transmission of autochthonous cases of arboviral diseases (e.g., dengue, chikungunya, Zika) in temperate areas, such as ...

A Combined Computational Methodology for the Discovery of Hit Compounds with Putative Insect Repellency Properties

Kritsi E., Liggri P.G.V., Stamati E.C.V., Tsitsanou K.E., Zographos S.E., Michaelakis A., Papachristos D., Zoumpoulakis P. (2022)

Mosquitoes and other hematophagous arthropods, the primary vectors of multiple parasites and viruses, are responsible for the transmission of serious diseases to humans. Nowadays, the interest is focused on the development ...

Curcumin derivatives as potential mosquito larvicidal agents against two mosquito vectors, culex pipiens and aedes albopictus

Matiadis D., Liggri P.G.V., Kritsi E., Tzioumaki N., Zoumpoulakis P., Papachristos D.P., Balatsos G., Sagnou M., Michaelakis A. (2021)

Vector-borne diseases have appeared or re-emerged in many Southern Europe countries making the transmission of infectious diseases by mosquitoes (vectors) one of the greatest worldwide health threats. Larvicides have been ...

Essential oil-in-water microemulsions for topical application: structural study, cytotoxic effect and insect repelling activity

Chatzidaki M.D., Demisli S., Zingkou E., Liggri P.G.V., Papachristos D.P., Balatsos G., Karras V., Nallet F., Michaelakis A., Sotiropoulou G., Zographos S.E., Papadimitriou V. (2022)

Essential oils (EOs) extracted from aromatic plants have been well recognized for their insect repellent properties. Although EOs are effective when freshly applied, their protective effect usually dissipates quickly due ...
