Acaricidal activity of extracts from the leaves and aerial parts of Neoglaziovia variegata (Bromeliaceae) on the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

The First Study for The Acaricidal Activity of Alcoholic Extracts of Adiantum capillus-veneris and Funaria hygrometric against Argas persicus

“…Whereas, various alcoholic extracts (ethanolic and methanolic) of different parts for numerous plants, e.g. Acmella oleracea, Ageratum conyzoides, Aloe rupestris, Argemone mexicana, Artemisia absinthium, Berberis tinctoria, Caesalpinia gaumeri, Cissus quadrangularis, Clematis brachiata, Cleome gynandra, Dalbergia sissoo, Datura metel, D. stramonium, Dodonaea viscose, Eupatorium adenophorum, Euphorbia rothiana, Neoglaziovia variegata, Ficus sycomorus, Lobelia leschenaultiana, Monsonia angustifolia, Pelargonium luridium, Semecarpus anacardium, Solanum sisymbrifolium, Strobilanthes foliosus, Schkuhria pinnata, Sclerocarya birrea and Tabernaemontana elegans…..etc., recorded 10-100% efficiency against hard ticks within 24 hours to 14 days of treatment (Dantas et al, 2015;Ghosh et al, 2015a, b;Godara et al, 2015Godara et al, , 2018Banumathi et al, 2016;Cruz et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2016;Muyobela et al, 2016;Singh et al, 2016;Anholeto et al, 2017;Rosado-Aguilar et al, 2017;Fouche et al, 2017Fouche et al, , 2019Vasconcelos et al, 2018;Figueiredo et al, 2019;Politi et al, 2019;Kemal et al, 2020;Upadhaya et al, 2020). Notably, the ticks killing activity of all extracts increases with increasing concentration and exposure time (Kemal et al, 2020).…”

Effect of acaricidal components isolated from lettuce (Lactuca sativa) on carmine spider mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisd.)

“…As acaricidal components may be concentrated in one part of the plant, researchers attempted to evaluate acaricidal activities of different parts of the plant, such as the root, leaf, seed and fruit (Zahir et al , 2009; Dantas et al , 2015). For example, acetone extract of Artemisia annua leaf was most toxic to mites, and the corrected mortality was 100% at 48 h post-treatment (Zhang et al , 2008).…”

Background on the control of the cattle tick R. (B.) microplus and the use of coumarin substances as an alternative

“…8 Therefore, in order to control tick infestations, alternatives for their control have been developed, based on the use of plants that are recognized for their antiparasitic characteristics 131 and that generally have a lower value and are safer and more friendly to the environment, promoting interest in the use and study of extracts obtained from these plants. 132 Worldwide there is a wide variety of plant extracts of various species, prepared through different methodologies that use leaves, roots, stems, flowers, fruits and seeds, obtaining extracts based on water, 9,131 oil 133 or different types of alcohols. 11,132,134 Essential oils have been obtained and used 135,136 in spray dried powder 6 for the control of this important ectoparasite.…”
