In vitro acaricidal activity of different ectoparasiticide classes against Amblyomma sculptum larvae

Abstract: Zoonoses are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among them, Brazilian Spotted Fever (BSF) is an important one that occurs in some regions of South America and can be transmitted by the “star tick” Amblyomma sculptum. Application of acaricides against the larval stage is important as strategy of population control. However, there is still a deficiency of studies on chemical control of A. sculptum and the present work aims to evaluate the in vitro acaricidal activity of cypermethrin, flumethrin, … Show more

“…Os carrapatos têm maior sensibilidade aos acaricidas nas fases imaturas, com impacto na redução de carrapatos adultos. No Brasil, as principais classes de acaricidas que são utilizadas atualmente são administradas por via tópica, sendo as classes das lactonas macrocíclicas, fenilpirazóis, piretróides e organofosforados, porém ainda há uma deficiência de estudos sobre produtos químicos no controlo sobre A. sculptum (RODRIGUES et al,2015;BORGES et al, 2020).…”
