The anti-tick effects of the tropical pasture legumes Stylosanthes humilis and Stylosanthes hamata were evaluated and compared with two common grasses, Cenchurus ciliaris and Andropogon gayanus, in the state of Morelos, Mexico, on plots experimentally infested with larvae of the tick Boophilus microplus. The effect was evaluated by recovery of larvae from the experimental plots by flagging during a 4 week period. The anti-tick effect due to Stylosanthes was significantly higher for S. humilis and S. hamata (p < 0.05) and slightly better for S. humilis (3% survival) than for S. hamata (12% survival). Further studies are required to determine the potential role of Stylosanthes plants for tick control in Mexico.
在墨西哥莫雷洛斯州，对热带豆科牧草柱花草（Stylosanthes humilis）和大托叶猪屎豆（Stylosanthes hamata）的抗蜱效果进行了评估，并与两种常见牧草，即狗尾草（Cenchurus ciliaris）和须芒草（Andropogon gayanus）进行了比较。实验地块用微小牛蜱（Boophilus microplus）幼虫进行了人工感染。通过在4周时间内用旗标法从实验地块回收幼虫来评估效果。柱花草的抗蜱效果在柱花草和大托叶猪屎豆中显著更高（p < 0.05），柱花草（3%存活率）的抗蜱效果略优于大托叶猪屎豆（12%存活率）。需要进一步研究以确定柱花草属植物在墨西哥蜱虫控制中的潜在作用。
