Abstract

Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks are common ectoparasites on dogs and vectors of diseases for pets and humans. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil on the larvae and reproductive capacity of engorged female ticks. Larvicidal activity and the impact on the reproduction of engorged female ticks were assessed using immersion assays, where larval packets and engorged female ticks were immersed in essential oil solutions. The 50% lethal dose (LD50), 90% lethal dose (LD90), and 99% lethal dose (LD99) were used to evaluate the larvicidal efficacy of the essential oil. Egg production index (EPI), oviposition reduction (OR), reproductive efficiency (RE), and product effectiveness (PE) were used to assess the reproductive capacity of engorged female ticks. The larvicidal efficacy of Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil was indicated by LD50, LD90, and LD99 values of 1.61, 9.80, and 42.68 mg/mL, respectively. The impact of Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil on the reproductive capacity of engorged female ticks showed that the essential oil could reduce egg-laying with an efficacy of 27.03% at the 50% lethal dose for larvae. In conclusion, Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil has the potential to kill larvae and affect the reproductive capacity of Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks.
