Abstract
Background: Adult Culex sp mosquitoes as disease vector also cause discomfort around humans. Various efforts have been made to prevent the transmission of diseases carried by mosquitoes, including the use of mosquito nets and the use of chemical insecticides in the larval and adult stages. Objectives: This Reserach aim to investigates the potential of Zodia (Evodia suaveolens) as natural repellents. Materials and Methods: An experimental study was conducted to test the effectiveness of Zodia extract at concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 3% against Culex sp. mosquitoes. The tests were conducted under controlled conditions in the Laboratory of Parasitology, University of Binawan. The effectiveness was measured by the percentage of mosquitoes repelled after exposure. Results: The effectiveness of Zodia repellent increased with concentration, showing 76.4% effectiveness at 1%, 81.3% at 2%, and 91.05% at 3%. These results indicate a concentration-dependent increase in repellency, with the highest concentration approaching typical efficacy rates of synthetic repellents. Conclusions: The Zodia repellent (Evodia suaveolens) with a concentration of 1%, 2% and 3% has been demonstrated to be effective as a natural repellent against Culex sp. mosquitoes.
