“…The acaricidal effects of thymol, carvacrol and eugenol in R. microplus and R. sanguineus larvae have been demonstrated in previous studies (Monteiro et al , ; Senra et al , , ). Furthermore, Novato et al () demonstrated that the association of carvacrol + thymol at certain concentrations had synergistic effects in A. sculptum and D. nitens larvae.…”

“…Previous investigations of the effects of eugenol (Monteiro et al , ), thymol (Scoralik et al , ) and carvacrol (Senra et al , ) alone against R. microplus have demonstrated high larval mortality (near or equal to 100%) starting from the lowest concentrations tested. The same was observed by Senra et al () with carvacrol and eugenol, and by Daemon et al () with thymol in R. sanguineus s.l.…”

“…Eugenol is a phenylpropanoid found in some plants of the families Myrtaceae, Lauraceae and Lamiaceae. Its acaricidal activity has been confirmed against R. microplus , D. nitens (Monteiro et al , ), A. cajennense s.l. and R. sanguineus (Senra et al , ).…”

The effects of combinations of the monoterpenes thymol and carvacrol and the phenylpropanoid eugenol in larvae of Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini, 1888) (Acari: Ixodidae) and Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.) (Acari: Ixodidae) were assessed by the larval packet test. The CompuSyn program was used to make qualitative assessments of the effects (synergistic, additive and antagonistic) of the associations. The effects of all combinations tested against R. microplus larvae were synergistic, with combination indices (CIs) <0.70. When tested against R. sanguineus, eight of the mixtures showed a synergistic effect (CI < 0.70); only the carvacrol + thymol mixture at LC presented a moderate synergistic effect, with CIs between 0.70-0.90. This study is the first to determine the effects of the interactions of these substances in the control of these two tick species. The combinations of carvacrol + thymol, carvacrol + eugenol and thymol + eugenol have synergistic effects in R. microplus and R. sanguineus s.l. larvae.

“…This has since been confirmed in other parasitic mites (Pasay et al., re; Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis ) and in multiple tick species of veterinary significance (de Monteiro et al., re: Rhipicephalus microplus and Dermacentor nitens ). According to the results presented, however, both geraniol and citral can also be considered as ‘active’ against D. gallinae .…”

Summary Resistance to conventional synthetic pesticides has been widely reported in ticks, parasitic mites and other pests of veterinary and medical significance. New and novel approaches to manage these pests are therefore needed to ensure efficient control programmes that can be implemented now and in the future. Recent research in this area has focused on the pesticidal potential of plant essential oils. These products are attractive as pesticide candidates on the grounds of low mammalian toxicity, short environmental persistence and complex chemistries (limiting the development of pest resistance against them). Although issues may exist concerning reliability in efficacy of essential oils, these may be overcome by identifying and developing bioactive oil components for use in pest management. In the current work, three such components (terpenes) found in essential oils (eugenol, geraniol and citral) were tested against the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae. All provided 100% mortality in toxicity tests when undiluted. Even at 1% of this dose, eugenol was 20% effective against experimental pest populations, although the remaining terpenes were largely ineffective at this concentration.

“…Plant extracts are insoluble in this solvent thus only a limited number of scientists used this test for evaluation of efficacy. However, some workers modified LPT and have used acetone, ethanol and methanol in place of trichloroethylene (de Monteiro et al, 2012;Singh et al, 2015). Only condition of the solvent is that it should not cause mortality of tick's larvae more than 5% in control group.…”

Geo-climatic and socio-economic conditions provide a favourable environment for parasitic population of livestock in Pakistan. Hard ticks (Ixodidae) and gastrointestinal nematodes pose most serious threats to livestock industry. Stackholders rely on synthetic drugs to control these parasites. Emergence of drug resistance in these parasites; however, has provoked interest in alternate of synthetic drugs. Testing of plants used in ethnoveterinary medicine for their antiparasitic activity employing standard procedures has been reported to be promising. Plants have been most frequently used for deworming purposes followed by as acaricides and insecticides; whereas, reports as to their antiprotozoal use are relatively less. Use of plants as antiparasitics is more frequent in developing countries having low accessability to the modern parasite control practices. Likewise, validation studies on the use of plants as antiparasitics have been more frequently carried out in the developing countries compared with those having livestock farming as commercial enterprise. This article presents an overview of the plants having acaricidal and anthelmintic activity, limitations as to the application of phytotherpay to control parasites and future prospects of the use of plants as antiparasitics.
