The purpose of this study was to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the essential oils of the pericarp of ripe fruits of Citrus aurantifolia, C. sinensis and C. grandis on stage 4 larvae and Culex pipiens nymphs collected in the Logbessou district (Douala). It can be another tool in the fight against Bancroft's filariasis in Cameroon.
