rhipicephalus annulatus (acari: ixodidae) control by nigella sativa, thyme and spinosad preparations
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: several compounds obtained from plants have potential insecticidal, growth deterrent or repellent characteristics. the control of hard ticks by non-chemical substances was targeted in this study. methods: the effect of 36 materials on in-vitro ticks was studied, including 2 absolute controls (water only or absolute ethyl alcohol only), 6 conventionally used spinosad preparations (aqueous solutions), 12 nigella sativa ( n. sativa ) preparations (aqueous and alcoholic solutions), and 12 thyme preparations (aqueous and alcoholic solutions). the engorged ticks were tested in-vitro for mortality and oviposition ability using the studied materials. results: the final mortality after 48 hours of application in n. sativa aqueous preparations began from 10.0% concentration, 1.0% to 100% by concentration preparations ≥10%. in addition, n. sativa alcoholic preparations began from 50.0% concentration, 2 % to 100% by concentration ≥5%. meanwhile, thyme aqueous and alcoholic preparations began from 70.0% concentration, 5% to 90% by concentration 10–20%. additionally, spinosad aqueous preparations and both of control preparations (water and alcohol) resulted in no mortality. all differences were statistically significant. the oviposition was stopped in n. sativa (aqueous ≥10% and alcoholic ≥5%) and in spinosad (aqueous≥25%). the aqoues dilution of the used matters killed b. annulatus larvae beginning from the concentration 5%. conclusion: nigella sativa alcohol 20% was the best of studied preparations being the lowest concentration (20%) that could achieve the highest lethal (100%) effect in shortest time (12 hours). moreover, thyme oil and spinosad could not kill 100% of adult but did on larvae.

متن کاملClimate change and the genus Rhipicephalus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Africa.
The suitability of present and future climates for 30 Rhipicephalus species in Africa are predicted using a simple climate envelope model as well as a Division of Atmospheric Research Limited-Area Model (DARLAM). DARLAM's predictions are compared with the mean outcome from two global circulation models. East Africa and South Africa are considered the most vulnerable regions on the continent to ...
متن کاملThe Ivomec SR Bolus for control of Boophilus annulatus (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle in South Texas.
When Hereford heifers infested with Boophilus annulatus (Say) were treated with a single Ivomec SR Bolus, the concentration of ivermectin in the serum of the treated cattle reached a maximum of 8.8 +/- 0.9 ppb at 2 wk posttreatment. The single bolus treatment resulted in 84.4% control of standard engorging B. annulatus females on treated cattle over the 20-wk trial. Although fewer engorged tick...
متن کاملTransmission of Leishmania infantum by Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Dogs
Background Rhipicephalus sanguineus is the most widely distributed tick in the world, which is partly due to its biological flexibility and the global distribution of its major host, the domestic dog. In Mediterranean region it could be principal reservoir host for Leishmania infantum, usually transmitted by the phlebotomine sand flies. In this study, we evaluated the vector potential of R. san...
متن کاملEcdysteroid levels changed by permethrin action in female Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks.
As recent studies have shown that ecdysteroids may play a major role in the regulation of vitellogenesis in Ixodidae, the present study quantified, by means of a radioimmunoassay, the levels of ecdysteroids present in the hemolymph of semi-engorged females of Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks obtained from control females (exposed to distilled water) and those exposed to increasing concentrations ...
متن کاملBiological Parameters of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae) Fed on Rabbits, Sheep, and Cattle
In order to determine the effect of various hosts on feeding performance of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, we used 3 mammalian species as hosts, cattle (Qinchuan), sheep (T an), and rabbits (Japanese white rabbit) for infest-ing ticks. Five hundreds of R. microplus larvae were exposed to each animal (3 animals/host species). Tick recoveries were 11.0%, 0.47%, and 5.5% from cattle, sheep, ...
