“…The research done by Zenasni et al (2008) shows that Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are more sensitive than Pseudomonas aeruginosa to essential oil from the Nepeta genus (p<0.001). The research made by Zhu et al (2014), found more than 98% inhibition of stable fly larval Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) growth and female oviposition was observed in larval and oviposition media treated with encapsulated catnip oil (0.5μg). Further, dose-response tests showed that as little as 0.1 μg of encapsulated catnip oil provided more than 85% oviposition deterrence.…”

“…Encapsulated catnip oil also exhibited antibacterial activity, supporting the hypothesis that its inhibition of larval growth may be based on its killing of the bacteria on which larvae feed. The use of encapsulated catnip oil can provide an alternative control strategy for stable fly management (Zenasni et al, 2008;Bandh et al, 2011;Zhu et al, 2014).…”

Overview Regarding the Bioactivity of Agastache foeniculum and Nepeta cataria species

et al. 2015

In this study, we summarize the recent advances on chemical composition and bioactivity of giant hyssop (Agastache foeniculum (Pursh) Kuntze) and catnip (Nepeta cataria L.). Extracts from giant hyssop and catnip have a significant bioactivity, antibacterial and antioxidant activity (Suschke et al., 2007; Zielińska and Matkowski, 2014; Mihaylova et al., 2013). This literature review wants to emphasize the value of these two plants and the opportunity of using them to obtain bioactive extracts with applicability in beekeeping for different pest control. Different parts of the mentioned plants were used for the determination of active principles from macerates and essential oils. Spectrophotometric methods as well as high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography are generally used for determination of bioactive principles from the classes of polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids and aromatic acids. Remarkable results have been obtained using the essential oil from Agastache foeniculum as an insecticide for the control of pests like the Red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst), Lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.), Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) and t h e Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella) from the grain and food warehouses (Ebadollahi, 2011). The anti-microbial activity of catnip (Nepeta cataria) was proven in over five bacterial strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtillis (Bandh et al., 2011). Considering the results obtained and reported in the literature on the control of various pests and diseases, we consider appropriate to extend the research in the field of beekeeping as well, for a natural treatment of different bacterial diseases and pests.

“…Several essential oils (plant-derived) have been used as repellents against stable flies (e.g., catnip, peppermint, eucalyptus and lemongrass) [127][128][129][130][131][132] but again the repellency only lasts 1-2 d. A repellent oil combination of sunflower (95%), geranium (2.5%) and lemongrass (2.5%) applied to dairy cattle reduced both stable flies on the animals and fly defensive behaviors [133]. DEET has been added to numerous products for fly control to improve the repellency of biting flies.…”

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), remains a significant economic pest globally in situations where intensive animal production or horticultural production provide a suitable developmental medium. Stable flies have been recorded as pests of livestock and humans since the late 1800s to early 1900s. Over 100 years of research has seen numerous methodologies used to control this fly, in particular to protect cattle from flies to minimise production losses. Reduced milk production in dairy cows and decreased weight gain in beef cattle account for losses in the US alone of > $2000 million annually. Rural lifestyles and recreation are also seriously affected. Progress has been made on many control strategies against stable fly over a range of chemical, biological, physical and cultural options. This paper reviews management options from both a historical and a technical perspective for controlling this pest. These include the use of different classes of insecticides applied to affected animals as toxicants or repellents (livestock and humans), as well as to substrates where stable fly larvae develop. Arthropod predators of stable flies are listed, from which potential biological control agents (e.g., wasps, mites, and beetles) are identified. Biopesticides (e.g., fungi, bacteria and plant-derived products) are also discussed along with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) against stable flies for several animal industries. A review of cultural and physical management options including trapping, trap types and methodologies, farm hygiene, scheduled sanitation, physical barriers to fly emergence, livestock protection and amendments added to animal manures and bedding are covered. This paper presents a comprehensive review of all management options used against stable flies from both a historical and a technical perspective for use by any entomologist, livestock producer or horticulturalist with an interest in reducing the negative impact of this pest fly.

“…Microencapsulation works by coating the repellent molecules with a film to produce small capsules. The resulting formulation results in a significant reduction in evaporative loss of the repellent whilst maintaining a consistent release rate (Solomon et al 2012), although environmental conditions can influence the release rate depending on the capsule structure and material used (Zhu et al 2014). Compounds trialled as repellent additives include synthetic musks such as vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methyoxy-benzaldehyde): a 1:3 ratio of DEET to vanillin increased the protection time against Aedes aegypti Linnaeus by 176% (Khan et al 1975).…”

Pests and Vector-Borne Diseases in the Livestock Industry

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Worldwide the livestock industry, from small farmers to large industrialized farms, is affected by arthropods and arthropod-borne diseases at various scales, which cause huge losses and are a constraint to socio-economic development. Farmers make considerable efforts to prevent and control pest and disease incidence, often requiring the use of vaccines, if available, drugs and pesticides. Examples of current problems are presented, to set the stage for the detailed and state-of-the-art presentations of specific cases of livestock pests and their associated diseases and modern methods of prevention and control.
