Resumen o descripción
Adulticidal and oviposition- and hatching-altering activities of essential oil extracted
from Mexican oregano leaves (Lippia graveolens H.B.K.) (OEO) were evaluated on engorged
adult female Rhipicephalus microplus ticks using the adult immersion test bioassay. Twofold
dilutions of OEO were tested from a starting dilution of 10% down to 1.25%. Results
showed 100% adulticidal activity at 10% OEO concentration and oviposition inhibition of
65.8% and 40.9% at 5.0% and 2.5% OEO concentration, respectively. Egg hatching inhibition
was achieved by 26.0% and 11.5% at 5.0% and 2.5% OEO concentration, respectively. These
effects could be attributed to OEO major components: thymol, carvacrol and p-cymene,
which together account for more than 60.0% of the OEO chemical composition. Mexican
oregano could represent a potential source for development of alternative tick control agents.
