“…The use of natural products against varroosis is an eco-friendly approach to this severe problem. Field tests on the use of methanolic extracts of Lepidium latifolium and Zataria multiflora indicated that these preparations exhibited acaricidal activity against the mites [35]. However, there are no preceding data on the action of costic acid against varroa.…”

Costic acid has been isolated from the plant Dittrichia viscosa and its efficacy against Varroa destructor, a parasite of Apis mellifera, the European honey bee, has been studied. Costic acid exhibited potent in vivo acaricidal activity against the parasite. Initial experiments showed that the compound is not toxic for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) at concentrations of up to 230 micromolar (μM), indicating that costic acid could be used as a safe, low-cost and efficient agent for controlling varroosis in honey bee colonies.

“…Plant-derived products, such as essential oils and methanolic extracts, are potential alternative agents to synthetic chemical products [28]. These substances are commonly used to maintain the social life of animals and to overcome issues of food safety and economics, because they are generally cost-effective and safe for both humans and animals [29]. Some efforts have been made to find more effective anti-hemosporidial compounds and some herbal products have been reported to be effective anti-malarial therapies [13].…”

Effects of Eugenol on Haemoproteus columbae in domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Eugenol was investigated for the treatment of Haemoproteus columbae (H. columbae) infected squabs (young domestic pigeons, Columba domestica). Thirty naturally-infected squabs were divided into three groups of 10 each. One group was treated with Eugenol, while the positive and negative control groups were administered buparvaquone (Butalex®) and distilled water, respectively. The number of infected red blood cells (RBCs) was calculated in all groups before and after treatment at 4-day intervals for 16 days. The results showed a significant therapeutic effect of Eugenol, with a progressive decrease in the number of infected RBCs from 89.20 ± 2.11 before treatment to 0.90 ± 0.31 at the end of treatment (P≤0.05). Butalex® was able to suppress the number of infected RBCs from 93.70 ± 1.72 before treatment to 0.90 ± 0.35 at the end of the experiment (P≤0.05). Eugenol showed therapeutic effects against H. columbae and may be regarded as a candidate for further studies to develop new drugs against blood parasites, in both animals and humans.

“…Acaricide activity was determined to be the highest (100%) for L. latifolium extract at 500 ppm after 12 days and 86.26% for Z. multiflora. It has been reported that both extracts can be used for varroa on bees and that there are no acknowledged negative effects on honey bee colonies (Razavi, Asadpour, Jafari, & Malekpour, 2015). In another study performed in the same year, it was reported that 10 g of thyme added to bee cake had a mortality percentage of 92.85% in Varroa mite (Emsen & Dodoloğlu, 2015).…”

Nowadays, aromatic plants and oils have significant contributions in growth performance, regulation of the digestive system and struggle with disease factors in farm animals. In beekeeping, many synthetic drugs are used against bee diseases and pests. Medicinal aromatic plants and oils, whose beneficial effects are known, are used in beekeeping in order to overcome the mentioned problems by natural means. In multiple researches it has been reported that herbs and essential oils of thyme, clove, mint, lemongrass, cinnamon, grapefruit, rosemary, marigold, laurel, eucalyptus and tea tree have lethal effects against mites, bacteria and fungi. When used appropriate doses, aromatic oils do not cause any toxic effects on the bee colony and have no negative effects on colony development. In addition, the use of medicinal aromatic herbs and oils in beekeeping supports organic production, as well as preventing residue problems in bee products (honey, beeswax and others).
