“…Over 95% larvae mortality was obtained with the essential oil of Drimys brasiliensis (Winteraceae) at concentrations of 3.125 to 25 µL.mL -1 (≈ 0.3125 to 2.5%). The oil was characterized by sesquiterpenoids, cyclocolorenone, bicyclogermacrene and alpha-gurjunene (RIBEIRO et al, 2008b). The ethanolic extract of seeds of Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae) at a concentration of 2% had 100% efficacy against engorged females (BROGLIO-MICHELETTI et al, 2009).…”

The evolution of resistance of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus to synthetic acaricides has given rise to the need for new scientific investigations on alternative ways to control this tick. In this regard, various studies on plants have been developed in an attempt to find extracts with acaricidal properties. Evaluations on plant extracts for controlling R. (B.) microplus have grown intensely over the last decade. There are many advantages from using plant extracts: for example, they can be used in organic cattle farming or even replace synthetic acaricides and they are associated with lower environmental and food contamination, slower development of resistance and lower toxicity to animals and humans. In vitro studies on plant extracts have shown promising results, but most of these extracts have not been tested on animals to validate their use. Difficulties in preparing proper formulations, differences in the chemical composition of plants of the same species due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors and sparse information on active acaricide compounds are hindrances that need to be addressed in order to enable progress within this scientific field.Keywords: Phytotherapy, cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, in vitro bioassays, in vivo bioassays.

(B.) microplus tem sido intensificadas nesta última década. Existem muitas vantagens com o uso de extratos de plantas no controle deste carrapato, como: eles podem ser utilizados na produção orgânica de bovinos, ou mesmo substituir os acaricidas sintéticos, além do mais, estão associados com baixa contaminação ambiental e dos alimentos, desenvolvimento mais lento de resistência e baixa toxicidade para animais e seres humanos. Estudos in vitro de extratos de plantas têm apresentado resultados promissores, mas a maioria destes extratos não têm sido testada em animais para validar estes resultados. Dificuldades para preparar formulações apropriadas, diferenças na composição química de plantas de uma mesma espécie devido a fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos e informações esparsas.sobre os princípios ativos são entraves que precisam ser solucionados visando o desenvolvimento deste campo de pesquisa.Palavras-chave: Fitoterapia, carrapato de bovinos, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, testes in vitro, testes in vivo.

“…Malheiros et al (2005) detected antifungal activity of sesquiterpenes found in the bark of D. brasiliensis, and CechinelFilho et al (1998) isolated and identified several active compounds from its bark, and found that the polygodial was more potent in controlling pain. BARK HARVESTING OF Drimys brasiliensis Ribeiro et al (2008) identified that the essential oils found in the leaves and bark of D. brasiliensis were lethal to dog and cattle ticks.…”

Drimys brasiliensis Miers, locally known as cataia or casca-de-anta, is a native tree species of the Atlantic Rainforest. Its bark is harvested from natural populations. This study examined the recovery capacity of the bark of D. brasiliensis under different bark harvesting methods, as well as the influence of these approaches on its population dynamics and reproductive biology. While none of these treatments resulted in changes in phenological behavior or the rate of increase of diameter at breast height and tree height, the removal of wider bark strips resulted in lower rates of bark recovery and higher rates of insect attack and diseases. Accordingly, the results recommend using strips of bark 2 cm wide and 2 m long, with 4 cm between strips, for effective rates of bark regrowth and for lower susceptibility to insect attack and diseases. From these studies, we concluded that D. brasiliensis has a high potential for sustainable management of its natural populations, demonstrating the possibility of generating an important supplementary income for farmers and contributing to the use and conservation of the Atlantic Rainforest.

This research evaluated the in vitro acaricidal activity of extracts from 21 plant species from the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul. During stage I, a larval immersion test was performed using three extract concentrations (5%, 20%, and 40%). During stage II, we used only plants that showed over 95% efficiency at the 40% concentration in stage I in an amount sufficient for the adult immersion test. Aeschynomene denticulata, Angelonia hirta, Aspilia latissima, Caperonia castaneifolia, Centratherum punctatum, Crotalaria micans, Diodia kuntzei, Echinodorus paniculatus, Hyptis mutabilis, Lantana canescens, Melanthera latifolia, Ocotea diospyrifolia, Richardia grandiflora, Sebastiana hispida, Tocoyena formosa, Zanthoxylum rigidum, and Sesbania virgata (fruit extract) showed acaricidal activity against the larval stage of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus higher than 95% at a 40% (w/v) concentration, while Hippocratea volubilis and Randia armata showed moderate efficacy and Croton glandulosus and Senna obtusifolia had no effect. The M. latifolia, A. hirta, R. grandiflora, and A. latissima raw extracts were evaluated for their activity against adults, and only A. hirta showed an efficacy close to 90%. Eighteen extracts had an efficacy of up to 95% against larvae at a 40% concentration, seven extracts were effective at 20%, and only one (Sebastiana hispida) was effective at a 5% concentration.Keywords: Cattle tick, natural compounds, phytotherapy, parasites.

Na etapa II, utilizou-se apenas as plantas que apresentaram eficácia superior a 95%, na concentração de 40% na etapa I e que apresentasse quantidade suficiente para o teste de imersão de adulto.

Os extratos brutos de M. latifolia, A. hirta, R. grandiflora e A. latissima foram avaliados sobre adultos e A. hirta apresentou eficácia próxima de 90%. Dezoito extratos apresentaram eficácia de até 95%, contra larvas, na concentração de 40%, sete extratos foram eficazes a 20% e apenas um (Sebastiana hispida) foi eficaz na concentração de 5%.Palavras-chave: Carrapato bovino, compostos naturais, fitoterapia, parasitas.
