This study aimed at assessing the combined effect of thymol, carvacrol and (E)-cinnamaldehyde on Amblyomma sculptum Dermacentor nitens larvae. The effects resulting from treatments were evaluated by means modified larval packet test. In order to determine LC50, components essential oils, monoterpenes phenylpropanoid individually tested different concentrations. After determining each oil component was separately then with another substance a 1:1 proportion LC50 concentration 1/2 1/4 LC50....
The ticks Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and sanguineus are the main vectors of Theileria parva Babesia spp. in cattle dogs, respectively. Due to their impact veterinary care industry, improved methods against R. parasitism under development, including vaccines. We have previously demonstrated induction a cross-protective humoral response microplus following vaccination with recombinant glutathione S-transferase from Haemaphysalis longicornis tick (rGST-Hl), suggesting that this protein could...
The control of tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, that has the cattle as preferential host, been performed using products based on different chemical substances.However, indiscriminate use these caused selection resistant populations and damages to environment, contaminating soil water.Tickcides, like fipronil (synthetic chemical) thymol (natural chemical), are applied through aspersion, causing death ectoparasites.Nevertheless, effects nontarget organisms have not thoroughly...
O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade de Heterorhabditis amazonensis isolado RSC-5 após exposição diferentes carrapaticidas utilizados no controle Rhipicephalus microplus. Foram constituídos seis tratamentos, cada um composto por produto, sendo grupo com 75.000 nematoides (NEPs) em suspensão 20 mL solução carrapaticidas, concentração comercial. foi formado NEPs e água destilada, todos os grupos foram mantidos câmara climatizada 25°C. A avaliação do percentual sobrevivência...
In the present study, chemical characterization of essential oils (EOs) from different chemotypes Siparuna guianensis was performed and their acaricidal activity against Rhipicephalus microplus evaluated. Leaves S. were collected three municipalities Zona da Mata region, Minas Gerais State, Brazil: São Miguel do Anta (SMA), Tocantins (TO), Viçosa (VI). The EOs compositions analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. To evaluate activity, larval packet tests (LPT), adult immersion...
The control of ticks is challenged by the resistance tick populations to chemical acaricides. In this study, we evaluated, under laboratory conditions, efficacy Heterorhabditis bacteriophora against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus engorged females with varying body weights (150, 200, 250, 300 or 350 mg per female) from eight different geographical populations. We also determined H. for field conditions.R. exposed 150 juveniles resulted in a high (97.5% 98.4%). Tests comprised strains...
