In vitro efficacy of oil from the seed of Carapa guianensis (andiroba) in the control of Felicola subrostratus

Abstract

This study was perfomed to assess the in vitro effect of oil from the seed of andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aubl.) on Felicola subrostratus (Burmeister, 1838) (Mallophaga: Trichodectidae). Six hundred specimens of F. subrostratus from neighborhood of Jordão, Recife-PE, Brazil, were collected by hand directly from the fur of cats infested naturally. The lice were transported in plastic recipients to the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases of Domesticated Animals of the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (Brazil) for the immersion test. Four dilutions of andiroba oil (100, 50, 25 and 10%) in distilled water were tested, using Tween 80 as dispersant; two control groups (one with distilled water and the other with monosulfiram) were also formed; four replicates were performed, with 25 specimens for each dilution, totaling 100 lice per treatment. After the test, the insects were kept at room temperature and observed for mortality rates for 72 h. The biological activity of the product achieved 100% mortality of the insects in the first hour at concentrations of 100 and 50% and in the third hour at concentrations of 25 and 10%. The results demonstrate the possibility of controlling F. subrostratus throught the use of oil extracted from andiroba seeds.

In vitro efficacy of Carapa guianensis Aublet (Meliaceae) oil on Damalinia (Bovicola) ovis Schrank (1781)

“…The concentration of 1000 mg/ml caused 94% mortality of the lice, 1 h post-exposure. These results are similar to those found by Barros et al (2012) and Farias et al (2017), when testing the same oil on chewing lice at 100% concentration, observed total mortality of Felicola subrostratus and Damalinia caprae, respectively, after starting the evaluation.…”

“…Similar results were obtained by Farias et al (2017), who, when using high concentrations of andiroba oil and monosulfiram (positive control), obtained 100% efficacy. Barros et al (2012) obtained similar results when working with lice specimens (F. subrostratus).…”

“…The anthelmintic, acaricidal, repellent, and insecticidal properties of the C. guianensis oil are attributed to the presence of limonoids, and for this factor, several studies on the biological activity of this oil have been conducted (FARIAS et al, 2010;ROMA et al,2015;VOLPATO et al 2015;KLAUCK et al, 2014;KLAUCK et al, 2015). In studies, this oil has demonstrated ectoparasiticidal activity on cat and goat lice, showing that it can be used as an alternative way to control infestations caused by them (BARROS et al, 2012;FARIAS et al, 2017). The present research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of C. guianensis oil, in vitro, on D. (Bovicola) ovis.…”

IDENTIFICANDO OS USOS TERAPÊUTICOS DA Carapa guianensis

“…O óleo misturado com cinzas e casca de cacau é utilizado como repelente e inseticida (FERRARI et al, 2007;SANTOS et al, 2014;KLAUCK et al, 2015;NARDI et al, 2016;PARREIRA et al, 2018). O óleo ainda é usado contra carrapatos, pulgas, larvas, piolhos, sarnas e picadas de insetos (BARROS et al, 2012;BARROS et al, 2015;ROMA et., 2015;JESUS et al, 2017). O fruto é usado por alguns insetos como meio de oviposição e nutrição das larvas até a forma adulta.…”
