“…This difference may be related to the species and strains of the studied pathogens; these results are similar to those obtained by LOPES et al (2007). The high activity of M. anisopliae was also found by Kaaya et al (1996) for the species Amblyomma variegatum (Fabricius, 1794) (Acari: Ixodidae); these authors reported an adult mortality UOD (10) 7 Fitossan 3 (10) 9 Fitossan 4 (10) 9 Fitossan 3 (10) 8 Fitossan 4 (10) 8 Fitossan 3 (10) 7 Fitossan 4 (10) 7 (10) 9 100.00 ± 0.00a 10.80 ± 0.49c 90.00 ± 6.12a 0.42 ± 0.71bcd 24.62 ± 0.71ab Fitossan 1 (10) 8 96.00 ± 4,.0ab 14.20 ± 1.11bc 90.00 ± 6.12a 0.55 ± 0.51ab 14.74 ± 0.71ab Fitossan 1 (10) 7 100.00 ± 0.00a 15.20 ± 1.28bc 100.00 ± 0.00a 0.63 ± 0.51a 2.04 ± 0.49b Fitossan 2 (10) 9 84.00 ± 7.48abc 1740± 1.29b 90.00 ± 10.00a 0.64 ± 0.71a 12.77 ± 0.49ab Fitossan 2 (10) 8 56.00 ± 9.80cd 18.60 ± 0.98b 100.00± 0.00a 0.64 ± 0.71a 1.01 ± 0.40b Fitossan 2 (10) 7 64.00 ± 11.66bcd 19.80 ± 0.97b 100.00 ± 0.00a 0.66± 0.31a 5.40 ± 0.32ab Fitossan 3 (10) 9 92.00 ± 14.70ab 19.40 ± 1.78b 85.00 ± 10.00a 0.63 ± 0.71a 20.42 ± 0.71ab Fitossan 3 (10) 8 96.00 ± 4.00ab 18.00 ± 2.02b 100.00 ± 0.00a 0.65 ± 0.71a 7.81 ± 0.20ab Fitossan 3 (10) 7 44.00 ± 4.90de 17.00 ± 0.95b 95.00 ± 5.00a 0.69 ± 0.51a 7.27 ± 0.51ab…”

Background: Given its numerous biologically active components, Euphorbiaceae has been found to be a large plant family and polyvalent with quite interesting therapeutic activity that can be studied. Materials and Methods:The ixodicidal activity of Euphorbia cyparissias extracts was studied in vitro and in vivo. Tested concentrations were 10, 5, 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25%. Results: For the in vitro study, conducted on field-collected female specimens of Dermacentor marginatus and Haemaphysalis punctata, the efficacy results showed that the ticks died after exposure in the case of 10, 5, and 2% tincture concentrations. The effects appeared after 30 minutes and became more visible 120 minutes after each exposure. The statistical differences regarding the used concentrations were found to be: F = 6.51, df = 5, P < 0.001. The in vivo study of the efficacy of E. cyparissias concentrations was performed on 35 naturally infested sheep and on 30 bovines parasitized with Ixodes ricinus, sprayed with tincture and glycerinate dilutions (bovines) on days 0 and 7. The results revealed detrimental effects on the survivability of female ticks, the most prominent being the reduction of their movement capacity. In sheep in vivo efficiency observed within 24 hrs varied, between 1 and 23% for D. marginatus and between 7 and 27% for H. punctata and respectively between 2 and 53% after 24 hrs, for I. ricinus, comparable effects being also found 72 hrs after the second administration of Euphorbia extracts. Conclusion:Extracts from E. cyparissias may be used, with results, as an ecologic alternative tick control management method, being a cheap solution, with a sizeable role in reducing the use of synthetic and/or other harming and resistance source ixodicidal conditionings.
