Chimie des substances naturelles et engagement scientifique : innover, transmettre, inspirer

Phytochemical exploration for vector-borne disease. Vector-borne diseases transmitted by mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti represent a major global public health challenge. Vector control mainly relies on synthetic insecticides, but resistance development and environmental concerns highlight the need for alternatives. Plants are a rich source of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities. Phytochemical exploration of biodiversity, particularly in tropical regions, can therefore help identify new compounds for vector control strategies.
