the essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from the leaves of two eucalyptus gillii maiden and e. microcarpa subsp. macrocarpa hook were analysed by gc and gc/ms. the main components identified in e. gillii oil were 1, 8-cineole (79.5%), trans-pinocarveol (8%) and ?-pinene (2.7%), and in e. microcarpa were 1, 8-cineole (77.3%), ?-pinene (5.6%) and terpin-1-ol (5.1%). oils with high conten...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Zataria multiflora and Eucalyptus globolus essential oils on some haematological parameters and respiratory burst activity in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). 260 fish (30±5g) were randomly distributed in 13 treatment groups each one in three replicates and different doses of essential oils in 16-17ºC were administrated. The fish were...

the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch, is a polyphagus pest which infests wide range of field, garden and greenhouse crops worldwide. pesticide applications against this pest have caused development of resistance, undesirable effects on non target organisms and environment and secondary pest outbreak. in recent years, herbal essential oils have received attention as natural plan...

This study examined the effects of odors on sustained attention during a vigilance task. Two essential oils (lavender and eucalyptus) and two materials (l-menthol and linalyl acetate) were compared with a control. The increase in reaction time was significantly lower with lavender than with the control. The results suggest that the administration of lavender helped to maintain sustained attenti...

Aromatherapy and plant-based essential oils are widely used as complementary and alternative therapies for symptoms including anxiety. Furthermore, it was reportedly effective for the care of several diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and depressive illness. To investigate the pharmacological effects of essential oils, we developed an in vitro assay system using immortalized hypothalamic neur...

abstract: influence of both dietary and bath administration of eucalyptus globules labill was evaluated on some immunological variables of common carp (cyprinus carpio) under temperature less than optimum in order to determine stimulatory effect of the essential oils. fish weighing 30-35 g were bathed or fed with different doses of 30, 60 and 120 |m|l/l or mg/kg feed for a period of 8 days. ser...

Background and objectives: Giardiasis and amoebiasis are two common diseases in human societies which make increasing problems for the health managing systems. In the present study, the antiparasitic activity of Allium sativum, Artemisia sieberi, Zatraria multiflora, Chenopodium botrys and Eucalyptus globulus essential oils on Gi...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Candida species, notably Candida albicans, is the major fungal pathogen in humans. It is a dimorphic fungus capable of causing superficial mucosal infections, as well as systemic infections, in immunocompromised individuals. The factors responsible for its pathogenesis are still not fully understood and increasing resistance to commonly used antifungal agents necessitates the...

the two spotted spider mite tetranychus urticae koch is one of the polyphagous pests of crops worldwide. due to undesirable effects of synthetic pesticides such as expression of resistance in mites, this research was conducted to achieve alternative safe compounds to environment. therefore, ovicidal activity of essential oils of eucalyptus salmonophloia f. muell and eucalyptus kingsmillii maide...
