Résumé : Because there is no or only low efficient vaccine available for protozoan diseases and current treatments have serious drawbacks in terms of safety, resistance, cost and administration pathway, the search for new active compounds against Leishmania, Plasmodium and Trypanosoma is crucial. In this review, we focus on papers related to anti-protozoal activity of essential oils and their components and published from 2013 until April 2017. We show here that among the 157 essential oils and 51 pure compounds analyzed, some can be considered as potential anti-parasitic agents showing selective in vitro but also in vivo activities with sometimes a proposal of their target and/or mode of action.
