The objective of this project is to develop various personal care and food products using natural extracts of regional plants, which reduce the impact caused by Aedes aegypti. As of December 2018, the advances that were made consist of the development of a repellent patch prototype, two cutaneous spray products, hand soap, and an incense. The plants used are Ricinnus comunis, Artemisia ludoviciana, Cymbopogum citratus, Cucurbita maxima, Coffea arabica and Syzygium aromaticum. After conditioning, extracts were obtained using organic solvents.
