Abstract: The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini, 1888) (Ixodida: Ixodidae), is the most important ectoparasite in cattle-breeding areas and is responsible for severe economic losses. Synthetic acaricides have been used to control this parasite. However, the need for safer products has stimulated the search for new acaricides, such as those to be obtained from medicinal plants. The essential oil of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) has many biological properties and shows great potential for use in veterinary ap… Show more

“…The presence of Eugenol is responsible for action in the control of agricultural pests and according to Kheradmand, Beynaghi, Asgari, and Garjan (2015), this plant can present almost 80% of this substance. In a study with Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae), it was observed that the use of clove oil at the dose of 100 mg mL -1 presented 100% efficiency, as well as the same dose of synthetic Eugenol, in adult mortality of ectoparasite (Ferreira et al, 2018) that is usually controlled with the use of commercial acaricides (Yessinou et al, 2016). The rapid action of clove oil on mites may indicate that its mechanism of action is neurotoxic (Isman, 2006).…”

“…However, the activity of EOSA against R. sanguineus has not yet been reported. The activity of EOSA and EG against R. microplus larvae was described by Ferreira et al (2018), who showed that they caused 100% mortality at concentrations of 2.5 mg.mL -1 and 5 mg.mL -1 for EG and EOSA, respectively. Our results demonstrated that higher concentrations (10, 20 and 40 mg.mL -1 ) were necessary to achieve R. sanguineus larvae mortality above 95% for EOSA and EG.…”

“…Nonetheless, due to the variations in essential oil extracts, scientists are now interested in identifying the specific component(s) with acaricidal properties in these plant extracts. Ferreira et al [ 170 ] identified eugenol as the main constituent of clove’s essential oil. Both clove essential oil and eugenol resulted in significantly reduced egg production index (EPI) and hatching.…”
