Chemical composition, acaricidal activity, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of two chemotypes of Eugenia stictopetala essential oil against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, an ectoparasite affecting livestock in tropical and subtropical regions, causes significant economic losses worldwide. In this context, effective control alternatives based on natural products are essential. This study evaluated the chemical composition, acaricidal activity, acute toxicity, and acetylcholinesterase (AChe) inhibition of essential oils (EO) from two chemotypes of Eugenia stictopetala (EOEs-1 and EOEs-2). Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that both chemotypes were rich in monoterpene hydrocarbons (64.6 %). EOEs-1 was characterized mainly by myrcene (60.4 %) and citral (neral: 11.0 %; geranial: 15.1 %), whereas EOEs-2 contained myrcene (59.3 %), geraniol (20.0 %), and linalool (14.1 %) as its major constituents. Acaricidal activity was assessed by Larval Immersion Test (LIT) against R. microplus larvae, including the isolade compounds citral, myrcene, geraniol, and linalool. EOEs-1 exhibited the strongest acaricidal activity (LC₅₀ of 1.798 mg/mL), with citral exhibiting similar potency (LC50=1.639 mg/mL), while EOEs-2 showed an LC₅₀ of 2.376 mg/mL. Additionally, both essential oils were capable of inhibiting the native acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of R. microplus, with EOEs-1 showing the strongest activity and emerging as a promising candidate for the control of this ectoparasite.
期刊介绍:
The journal Veterinary Parasitology has an open access mirror journal,Veterinary Parasitology: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
This journal is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal. Papers of geographically limited (local) interest which are not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate why their paper is relevant to a broader readership.
Parasitological studies on laboratory animals fall within the scope of the journal only if they provide a reasonably close model of a disease of domestic animals. Additionally the journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as disease reservoirs to domestic animals, or as a zoonotic reservoir. Case studies considered to be unique or of specific interest to the journal, will also be considered on occasions at the Editors'' discretion. Papers dealing exclusively with the taxonomy of parasites do not fall within the scope of the journal.
