dc.description.abstractThe essential oils of two Lamiaceae cultivated in Western Himalaya were examined on their antimicrobial, biting deterrent as well as larvicidal activity. Additionally their odors are described and their chemical compositions analyzed by GC-MS are given. The main component of Nepeta cataria oil was 4a?,7?,7a?-nepetalactone (85%), whereas camphor (27%) and 1,8-cineol (27%) were dominant in the oil of Rosmarinus officinalis. The studied essential oils demonstrated high to moderately antimicrobial activity against reference strains, clinical and food spoilage isolates of Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella abony and Candida albicans (MIC 160-640 ?g/ml) and indicated low activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and P. fluorescens. Both oils showed biting deterrent activity above solvent control but lower than DEET. Nepeta catarica essential oil exhibited high toxicity with LD50 value of 20.2 whereas R. officinalis oil showed only 50% mortality at the highest tested dose of 125 ppm against 1-day old Aedes aegypti larvae at 24-hour post treatment. ? 2015 Bentham Science Publishers.en_US
