Artemisia argyi, A. feddei, A. gmelinii, A. manshurica, and A. olgensis (Asteraceae) were collected in

Far East Russia. Oils were hydrodistilled and simultaneously analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS. Main constituents were found as follows in Artemisia oils: selin-11-en-4α-ol (18.0%), 1, 8-cineole (14.2. 0%), artemisia alcohol (12.9%), borneol (9.7%) in A. argyi; camphor (31.2%), 1, 8-cineole (17.6%), α-thujone (5.7%) in A. feddei; longiverbenone (12.0%), isopinocamphone (8.9%), 1, 8-cineole (6.7%), camphor (5.8%), trans-p-menth-2-en-1-ol (5.3%) in A. gmelinii; germacrene D (11.2%), rosifoliol (10.1%), caryophyllene oxide (6.8%), eudesma-4 (15), 7-dien-1β-ol (5.6%) in A. manshurica; eudesma-4 (15), 7-dien-1β-ol (6.9%), caryophyllene oxide (5.6%), guaia-6, 10 (14)-dien-4β-ol (5.1%) and hexadecanoic acid (5.0%) in A. olgensis. Oils were subsequently submitted for antifungal and antimosquito evaluations. Artemisia species oils showed biting deterrent effects in Aedes aegypti and Artemisia gmelinii oil with the most active biting deterrence index values of 0.82±0.1 at 10 µg/mL. Larval bioassay of A. gmelinii and A. olgensis oils showed higher larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti
