“…This difference could of course be due to other different physiological/biochemical characteristics. 11) Essential oils have been utilized as insecticides, antifeedants, and repellents with a wide variety of target insects [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][23][24][25][26][27] ; however, one study that tested 96 herb extracts found that while Japanese mint oil had a strong repellent effect against B. germanica, the essential oils of grapefruit, lemon, and lime did not show strong repellent activity. 28) This is in contrast with our results, but the previous study was performed by a classical assay method based on the behavior of cockroach groups, and this may have been affected by the chemical factors associated with aggregation.…”

Repellent activity of citrus oils against the cockroaches Blattella germanica, Periplaneta americana and P. fuliginosa

The repellent efficacy of 17 essential oils against the German cockroach, Blattella germanica was examined using a T-tube olfactometer. Five oils repelled B. germanica with good efficacy, ranging from 70.0 to 96.7%. Four of these oils, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and orange, were from the citrus family Rutaceae. These citrus essential oils showed similar repellent activity against two more cockroach species, such as Periplaneta americana and P. fuliginosa. Gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the major components responsible for the repellent activity of the citrus oils were limonene, b-pinene and g-terpinene. Limonene appears to be the main component responsible for the repellent activity rather than b-pinene and g-terpinene. The repellent efficacy of these components varied with different doses and the cockroach species tested. It is likely that minor components of the oils also contributed to the overall repellent activity of citrus essential oils, except orange oil. The activity of orange oil is almost solely attributed to the activity of limonene. Also, the repellent activity of citrus oil and that of each of the terpenoids makes little difference to the efficacy of a repellant against the three species of cockroaches.

“…These essential oils exert repellent effect against A. aegypti (effective dose (ED 50) = 30.73 µg/cm 2 ) with a complete protection time of about 3 h without irritating human skin . This protection time increases further by the addition of 10% vanillin (Choochote et al, 2007). The extracts have shown remarkable larvicidal activity even against pyrethroid resistant strains of A. aegypti (Sutthanont et al, 2010).…”

Phytochemistry and medicinal properties of Kaempferia galanga L. (Zingiberaceae) extracts

Kaempferia galanga L. (KG), commonly known as cekor is one of those precious medicinal herbs ofZingiberaceas that are still included in un-utilized herbs inspite of the variety of useful pharmacological properties it possesses. Extracts of KG have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, nematicidal, mosquito repellent, larvicidal, vasorelaxant, sedative, antineoplastic, antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, antiallergic and wound healing properties. Here, we have reviewed all the reported pharmacological properties of this valuable herb with an intention to highlight the effectiveness and potentials of this herb. Ethyl-pmethoxycinnamate and ethyl-cinnamate are found to be the most vital constituents responsible for most of these pharmacological properties. Antinociceptive effect of KG extracts is comparable with that of aspirin whereas its nematicidal effect is even more potent than Carbofuran and metham sodium.

“…The Rutaceae family has been extensively studied with respect to the significant number of different secondary metabolites and its biological activities -antibacterial, fungicidal (NISSANKA et al, 2001) and acaricidal (ELANGO; RAHUMAN, 2011). The Zanthoxylum genus includes species with anti-fungicidal and repellent activity against Aedes aegypti (CHOOCHOTE et al, 2007).…”

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.

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.
