Activity of the extract of Acmella oleracea on immature stages of Amblyomma sculptum (Acari: Ixodidae).
Veterinary Parasitology 2018 April 31
This study evaluated the acaricidal activity of the methanol extract of Acmella oleracea with 0.187% of spilanthol against immature stages of Amblyomma sculptum. The packet test was used to evaluate the extract's activity on unengorged larvae and nymphs, testing concentrations of 0.4 to 50 mg/mL for larvae and 12.5 to 200.0 mg/mL for nymphs. For the engorged stages, the immersion test was used, at concentrations of 0.4 to 50 mg/mL for larvae and 12.5 to 200.0 mg/mL for nymphs. The methanol extract caused 100% mortality of the unengorged larvae and nymphs starting at concentrations of 12.5 and 200.0 mg/mL, respectively. For engorged larvae and nymphs, the mortality was 100% starting from concentrations of 12.5 and 150.0 mg/mL, respectively. The LC50 for unengorged larvae was 3.2 mg/mL, while for engorged larvae it was 6.6 mg/mL. For unengorged nymphs, the LC50 was 38.5 mg/mL, but it was not possible to calculate the corresponding value for engorged nymphs because the data did not fit the probit model. These results demonstrate that the methanol extract of A. oleracea has acaricidal activity against different immature stages of A. sculptum.
