Five different methanol extracts of plants were evaluated as a mosquito repellent against Aedes albopictus in nude mice model. The volatile components of plants were analyzed with GC-MS. The effective dose was the highest in Nepeta cataria with 72.9, 83.7, 86.4, and 97.3% efficiencies at 10, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL, respectively. Nepeta cataria, Actinidia polygama, and Artemisia annua extracts were the most effective in duration time test. And there was no difference compared to negative control in the low mosquito repellent efficiency from 30 minutes. As a result of analyzing the volatile components of each plant, a total of 28 components in Mentha suaveolens, 19 components in Actinidia polygama, 27 components in Artemisia annua, 26 components in Nepeta cataria, and 19 components in Taraxacum platycarpum were detected. Especially, nepetalactone known as an effective ingredient of a mosquito repellent was identified (27.95 mg/Kg) in one of volatile components of Nepeta cataria. Overall, our results provide the possibility to develop mosquito repellents material using natural plants which contain various volatile components.
