Abstract Essential oils (EO) have the potential to control ectoparasites, being an alternative use of synthetic products. The essential Baccharis trimera and Mimosa verrucosa were evaluated for lethality, residual efficacy, repellence against ectoparasite Ctenocephalides felis Bouché, toxicity was using Saccharomyces cerevisiae eukaryote model. EOs obtained by steam distillation characterized GC/FID/MS. Mortality at different immature stages among adult fleas measured through in vitro filter...
Essential oil (EO) of Cannabis sativa (C. sativa) was evaluated against the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages flea Ctenocephalides felis felis. The chemical composition EO determined by gas chromatography with flame ionization mass spectrometry. mainly comprised γ-elemene (16.2%) caryophyllene oxide (14.2%) as major compounds. To evaluate mortality in vitro, filter paper tests were performed at different concentrations. C. showed insecticidal activity (100% highest concentrations) for...
