“…Many botanicals and their products are reported to have excellent effect against various diseases and particularly against coccidiosis as proven by different in vitro and in vivo studies (Abbas et al, , 2017a(Abbas et al, , 2017b(Abbas et al, , 2017cIdris et al, 2017;Khater et al, 2018;Mahmood et al, 2018). In present study like that of previous studies (Awais et al, 2014;Hong et al, 2016;Gadelhaq et al, 2018), in vivo anticoccidial effect of Trachyspermum ammi was measured in terms of different parameters such as feed conversion ratio, mortality rate, lesion, fecal and oocyst scores.…”

“…In contrast, there is a substantial body of work on the use of botanicals against larvae of these species. The same oils and the blends discussed here were evaluated recently against larval stages of the same strain of L. sericata (Khater et al 2018). The oils did not repel L2s from the treated liver but adversely affected their development.…”

Lucilia sericata is a facultative ectoparasite causing fly strike or myiasis in warm‐blooded vertebrates. It is controlled by traps or insecticides, but both have drawbacks and alternative ways of control are urgently needed. Essential oils (EOs) of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides), cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and their blends (OBs); OB1 (2 ml of each EO plus 4 ml of sunflower oil as a carrier) and OB2 (2 ml of each EO) were tested. Oils were tested at 5% for deterrence assays, and a dose response assay 0.01‐0.6%, was conducted to determine forced‐contact toxicity. We evaluated the efficacy of oils as oviposition deterrents, repellents/attractants, and their effects on mortality and longevity of adult L. sericata. Our data indicated that 0.2% EOs killed all flies by 5 min post‐treatment and that vetiver oil greatly deterred flies from the oviposition medium and reduced adult longevity. Sunflower oil repelled all flies from ovipositing and greatly reduced the lifespan of treated adults. The blend of the four oils (OB1) had the greatest repellent effect on the flies. EOs have insecticidal, repellent, and oviposition‐deterrent activities against L. sericata that could be used for suppression of blow fly populations.

“…EOs are used against insects [20,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] throughout the globe. EOs are distilled from members of the Lamiaceae (mint family), Poaceae (aromatic grasses), and Pinaceae (pine and cedar family).…”

Mosquitoes are serious vectors of diseases threading millions of humans and animals worldwide, as malaria, filariasis, and important arboviruses like dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, West Nile virus, and Zika viruses. The swift spread of arboviruses, parasites, and bacteria in conjunction with the development of resistance in the pathogens, parasites, and vectors represents a great challenge in modern parasitology and tropical medicine. Unfortunately, synthetic insecticides had led to some serious health and risk concerns. There are no vaccines or other specific treatments for arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes. Accordingly, avoidance of mosquito bites remains the first line of defense. Insect repellents usually work by providing a vapor barrier deterring mosquitoes from coming into contact with the skin surface, and this chapter focused on assets and liabilities, mechanism of action, improving efficacy, safety, and future perspective of synthetic and natural repellents that could potentially prevent mosquito-host interactions, thereby playing an important role in reducing mosquito-borne diseases when used correctly and consistently.

Toxicity and growth inhibition potential of vetiver, cinnamon, and lavender essential oils and their blends against larvae of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia sericata

Abstract: Overall, cinnamon and vetiver oils (5%) were selected as reliable and cheap biopesticides for controlling larvae of L. sericata. The tested oils are inexpensive and represent new promising botanical insecticides in the fight against blowflies causing myiasis.
