Laboratory evaluation of six crude plant extracts as repellents against larval Leptotrombidium deliense (Acari: Trombiculidae)

In vitro effect of seven essential oils on the reproduction of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus

“…According to the literature, the Z. officinale oil showed bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus [32], repellent activity against mosquitoes of the species Culex quinquefasciatus [33], as well as repellent effect against Leptotrombidium deliense larvae, a species of mite [34], similar to the cattle tick used in this study.…”

Effects of essential oils on economically important characteristics of ruminant species: A comprehensive review

“…These results are comparable to studies reporting J. commuinis is a rich source of anti-tick compounds with well-known repellent and insecticidal activities, and C. citratus oil had 100 % efficacy against R. microplus ( Agnolin et al., 2014 ; Dietrich et al., 2006 ; Silva et al., 2007 ; Silva et al., 2009 ). Z. Officinale showed bactericidal effect on S. aureus , repellent activity against mosquitoes ( Culex quinquefasciatus ) and repellent effect against mites (Leptotrombidium delicense ) suggesting broad spectrum usage ( Hanifah et al., 2012 ; Nerio et al., 2010 ; Silva et al., 2007 ; Silva et al., 2009 ). Oils from the Citrus sp.…”

Toxicological studies of Thuja orientalis plant extract and Vertimec 1.8 EC against two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) under laboratory conditions

“…The essential oil of T. orientalis has repellent action and reduces the fecundity of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) (Papachristos and Stamopoulos, 2002). Hanifah et al (2012) found that the plant extracts exhibited varying degrees of repellency against larval Leptotrombidium deliense (Acari: Trombiculidae)., and the level of repellency increased with higher concentrations of the extracts. An onion extract was found to have the highest repellency at the lowest concentration of 0.01%, with a rate of 30%, followed by clove and cinnamon extracts at 23%.…”
