“…The possibility of reduction in risks of contamination of food and the environment by alternative products is a worldwide desire (ADENUBI et al, 2016). However, more studies should be performed to develop formulations that protect this oils and your active compounds from environmental degradation.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acaricidal activity of essential oils from three species of plants with intermediary concentrations of 1,8-cineole against the tick species Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. For this purpose, five serial concentrations (100.0, 50.0, 25.0, 12.5, 6.2 mg/mL) of essential oils from Mesosphaerum suaveolens (L.) Kuntze, Ocimum gratissimum L. and Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) B. L. Burtt & R. M. Sm. were used on larval packet and adult immersion tests. The essential oils were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), being detected 35.8, 24.7 and 24.0% of 1.8-cineol in the oils of M. suaveolens, O. gratissimum and A. zerumbet, respectively. The lethal concentration (LC 50) of each oil for larvae and engorged females was calculated through Probit analysis. All essential oils showed high efficacy (≥ 95.0%) on engorged females at the 100.0 mg/mL concentration. In regards to larvae, O. gratissimum (LC 50 = 11.9 mg/mL) was the most potent, followed by the A. zerumbet (LC50 = 19.7 mg/mL) and the M. suaveolens (LC50 = 51.6 mg/mL) essential oils. These results show that other compounds interfere with 1,8-cineole action.

“…Ticks are important vectors of various parasites including Ehrlichia (Cowdria) ruminatium, Theileria parva and Babesia bigemina (Bissinger and Roe, 2010;Wanzala et al, 2012;Adenubi et al, 2016;Vudriko et al, 2016). These vectors cause diseases that affect cattle productivity and profitability including Babesiosis (Red water), Theileriosis (January disease),…”

Farmers in Zimbabwe claim plant that extracts of Cissus quadrangularis, Aloe vera and Maerua edulis are effective at controlling cattle ticks. On-station experiments were conducted at Henderson Research Station to determine the in-vivo efficacy of crude aqueous extracts of Cissus quadrangularis (succulent stems), Aloe vera (succulent leaves) and Maerua edulis (leaves and tuber) at concentrations of 15%, 15% and 10% w/v respectively, against cattle ticks. An amitraz-based acaricide and water were used as positive and negative controls respectively. Thirty Mashona steers were allocated to the six treatments in a completely randomised design experiment where each animal was an experimental unit replicated five times. The animals were each sprayed weekly with 5 L of the test or control solutions using a knapsack sprayer after which full body tick counts were recorded every other day for seven weeks. The experiments were conducted between January and February when conditions are optimal for tick development. The M. edulis tuber extract was as effective as the amitraz-based commercial acaricide. The other three plants extracts were however, as ineffective as the negative water control. Maerua edulis tuber, soapy water-oil extract is effective against cattle ticks and have potential to be developed into an acaricidal product and thus benefit mostly resourcechallenged smallholder farmers who cannot afford commercial synthetic acaricides. In vivo studies using acaricidal plants are rare.

ResumoO parasitismo por ácaros sempre foi objeto de preocupações e perdas relacionadas à produção animal, assim como à transmissibilidade de agentes etiológicos de importantes doenças; e aproximadamente 95% das formas evolutivas dos carrapatos em fase não parasitária encontram-se no ambiente. Com base na importância de se controlar estágios larvares dos ixodídeos no ambiente, este estudo avaliou a eicácia de acaricidas in vitro sobre larvas de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus e Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Foram testadas: Cipermetrina 15% (T1); Deltametrina 25% (T2); associação de Cipermetrina 5% + Diclorvós 45% + Butóxido de piperolina 25% (T3); associação de Cipermetrina 15% + Clorpiriphos 25% + Citronela 1% (T4) e Amitraz 12,5% (T5). Para cada tratamento foram realizadas nove repetições contendo 20 larvas. As observações de motilidade foram realizadas: 1, 5, 10, 20 e 30 minutos após o tratamento (MPT); 1, 2, 6, 12 e 24 h após o tratamento (HPT); 5 dias após o tratamento (DPT). Os testes das larvas de R. (B.) microplus e R. sanguineus com deltametrina 25% serviram de controle positivo e demonstraram perda de motilidade de 100% das larvas com duas HPT para ambas espécies de ixodídeos. O R. (B.) microplus apresentou maior sensibilidade aos desaios contendo a cipermetrina 15% e 5% associada ao diclorvós e butóxido de piperonila. Larvas de R. sanguineus apresentaram maior sensibilidade em menor tempo ao tratamento com amitraz a 12,5%. Contudo, apesar das diferenças no efeito acaricida observadas no decorrer dos tempos, obteve-se eicácia de 100% para todos os compostos inseticidas sobre os instares das duas espécies 12 HPT, demonstrando que, quando utilizados nas doses recomendadas pelos fabricantes, os produtos comerciais podem ser eicazes em estratégias de controle ambiental das larvas.
