Resumen:
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.
