Specimens of Salvadora persica Wallich (Salvadoraceae), Pistacia atlantica Desfontaines (Anacardiaceae), and Juniperus phoenicea L. (Cupressaceae) were collected at The Green Mountain in northeastern Libya. The tick-repellent effects of the essential oils from the plants were evaluated using host-seeking nymphs of Ixodes ricinus L. (Acari: Ixodidae) in the laboratory. Significant tick repellent effects were observed for the oils of all three species, but the duration of action was short. The oils were obtained by steam distillation. Volatile compounds of the essential oils were collected by solid phase microextraction and the constituents were identified by gas chromatographymass spectrometry.
在利比亚东北部的绿山采集到了沙巴菀（Salvadora persica Wallich）（豆科）、野巴旦杏（Pistacia atlantica Desfontaines）（漆树科）和刺柏（Juniperus phoenicea L.）（柏科）的标本。采用实验室条件下的嗜人蓖子硬蜱（Ixodes ricinus L.）（蜱螨目：硬蜱科）若蜱来评估植物精油的驱蜱效果。这三种植物的精油均表现出显著的驱蜱效果，但作用持续时间较短。精油通过水蒸气蒸馏法提取。采用固相微萃取法收集精油中的挥发性化合物，并通过气相色谱-质谱联用技术鉴定成分。
