Abstract
⺠The trypanocidal potential of essential oils from medicinal plants was evaluated. ⺠The essential oils tested were active against all evolutive forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. ⺠The essential oil from Lippia sidoides was the most effective against trypomastigotes. ⺠Lippia origanoides essential oil was the most effective against amastigotes. ⺠All essential oils were more specific against parasites than mammal cells.
