Efeitos do extrato hidroalcóolico do marmeleiro (Croton blanchetianus (Baill)) e massambê (Cleome spinosa (Jacq)) sobre os parâmetros reprodutivos de fêmeas ingurgitadas de Rhipicephallus (Boophilus) , microplus no Semiárido Paraibano.

Abstract

The tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus is considered vector of various pathogens between these and the babesia anaplasma, assuming large veterinary medical importance in Brazil and worldwide. His control has been carried out based on synthetic miticides, with its indiscriminate use caused the growth of resistant tick populations, and causing harm to animals, producers and the environment in which they live. Phytotherapy has been an alternative control method capable of combating this problem. Faced with this situation, this work aims to determine the effectiveness of plant extracts obtained from regional plants Caatinga against R. sanguineus the city of Patos, Paraíba in the hinterland. Plants were selected after application of ethnopharmacological survey among the population, harvested and processed to obtain the crude extract. To evaluate the efficacy, held biocarrapaticidograma of the test in engorged females collected from naturally infected animals. Ticks were subjected to immersion baths using formulations Quince (blanchetianus Croton) muçambé (Cleome spinosa) at a concentration of 50% and 100% and distilled water (negative control). The calculated formulations on efficacy outcome parameters of teleógenas demonstrated greater efficacy of the formulations muçambé 100 Quince% and 50%. This work demonstrates that extracts obtained from plants of Caatinga have regional action potential in aiding the control of R. sanguineus when the concentrations described above.
