Isolation and Characterization of Tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) Attractive Compounds from Calcurnia aurea

ABSTRACT

Ticks pose a major challenge and economic burden to livestock rearing as they inflict physical injury and transmit diseases resulting in heavy losses of livestock. Their control has relied mainly on the use of synthetic acaricides which are expensive and hazardous to the environment and non-target organisms. Intensive use of these acaricides has also resulted in tick resistance. Plant extracts could provide a viable alternative to tick control and management strategies. Calpurnia aurea (Aiton) Benth is an example of a plant whose extracts have been used to treat various internal and external parasites in both livestock and humans.
