: The novelty of our work entitled “Chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of <i>Eucalyptus cinerea</i> essential oil with its insecticidal effect against <i>Ceratitis capitata</i> adults” can be summarized as the major essential oil components responsible for its biological activities. Eucalyptol was the major compounds in the <i>E. cinerea</i> essential oil. We assume that <i>E. cinerea</i> was efficient against all the tested bacteria and exhibited antioxidant activities. In addition, this work explored for the first time the insecticidal activity of <i>Eucalyptus cinerea</i> by topical application against <i>C. capitata</i> adults.
