Abstract: Las moscas carnajeras desempeñan un papel clave en la transmisión de enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos y causan miasis. Gracias a sus propiedades repelentes e insecticidas, los aceites esenciales (OE) de plantas aromáticas pueden controlar estos insectos. Sin embargo, debido a su fuerte olor, a menudo no son aptos para proteger alimentos o lugares. En este trabajo, se analizaron las EOs de dos plantas andinas, Aloysia citrodora y Bursera graveolens, conocidas por su agradable olor, desde un punto de vista químico y sensorial, y se evaluó su bioactividad frente a la mosca Calliphora vomitoria en comparación con la EO altamente eficaz pero de mal olor, Allium sativum. La prueba de comportamiento mostró que la EO de A. citrodora era más repelente que la de A. sativum y que, por el contrario, la EO de B. graveolens resultaba atractiva para C. vomitoria. Las pruebas de toxicidad mostraron que los EO de ambas plantas andinas tienen un claro efecto insecticida contra los huevos de mosca y los adultos. En cuanto al contacto con moscas adultas, la EO de A. citrodora era aproximadamente el doble de tóxica que la de A. sativum.

With their repellent and insecticidal properties, essential oils (EOs) from aromatic plants can control such insects. However, because of their strong odour, they are often unsuitable for protecting food or places. In this work, the EOs of two Andean plants, Aloysia citrodora and Bursera graveolens, known for their pleasant odour, were analysed from a chemical and sensory point of view, and their bioactivity against the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria was assessed in comparison with the highly effective, but bad-smelling, Allium sativum EO. The behavioural test showed that the A. citrodora EO was more repellent than the A. sativum EO and that, on the contrary, the B. graveolens EO was attractive to C. vomitoria. The toxicity tests showed that the EOs of both Andean plants have a clear insecticidal effect against blowfly eggs and adults. In terms of contact with adult flies, the A. citrodora EO was about twice as toxic as the A. sativum EO.
