In this study, we evaluated the anthelminthic and insecticidal potential of the leaf essential oil obtained from Origanum syriacum against the L3 larvae of the parasitic nematode Anisakis simplex and larvae and adults of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. Tests on A. simplex were performed by standard larvicidal and penetration assays, while mosquito toxicity was assessed relying on larvicidal, tarsal contact, and fumigation tests. To shed light on the possible mode of action, we analyzed the oil impact as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. This oil was particularly active on L3 larvae of A. simplex, showing a LC50 of 0.087 and 0.067 mg mL\u22121 after 24 and 48 h treatment, respectively. O. syriacum essential oil was highly effective on both larvae and adults of C. quinquefasciatus, showing LC50 values of 32.4 mg L\u22121 and 28.1 \u00b5g cm\u22122, respectively. Its main constituent, carvacrol, achieved larvicidal LC50(90) of 29.5 and 39.2 mg L\u22121, while contact toxicity assays on adults had an LC50(90) of 25.5 and 35.8 \u00b5g cm\u22122, respectively. In fumigation assays, the LC50 was 12.1 \u00b5L L\u22121 after 1 h and decreased to 1.3 \u00b5L L\u22121 in 24 h of exposure. Similarly, the fumigation LC50 of carvacrol was 8.2 \u00b5L L\u22121 after 1 h of exposure, strongly decreasing to 0.8 \u00b5L L\u22121 after 24 h of exposure. These results support the folk usage of Lebanese oregano as an antiparasitic agent, providing new insights about its utilization for developing new effective and eco-friendly nematocidal and insecticidal products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules24142563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,15]],"date-time":"2019-07-15T04:55:27Z","timestamp":1563166527000},"page":"2563","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Efficacy
