  abstract = {{O}ver the last decades, the geographical distribution of certain mosquito species carrying vector-borne diseases has considerably expanded. {T}hey represent a major health concern as they transmit pathogens causing alarming epidemics. {I}n the absence of vaccines for most of the mosquito-borne diseases, the use of topical mosquito repellents is one of the main measures to prevent human-mosquito contacts. {S}ynthetic repellents are the most used mosquito repellents. {H}owever, several concerns about their safety for consumers have led to a growing demand of natural alternatives. {H}ere we present an overview of the most commonly used natural-based mosquito repellents: repellent activity, biological action, composition, stereochemical structure (when appropriate) and syntheses, paradoxically far from being eco-friendly. {W}e discuss on future prospective that would combine sustainable chemical processes and synergistic effects promising for the development of natural, safe and efficient topical repellents.},
