Dermacentor reticulatus ticks are among the most important arthropod vectors of zoonotic disease agents in Europe. Eleven essential oils, namely basil (Ocimum basilicum), bergamot (Citrus bergamia), clove bud (Syzygium aromaticum), citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus), creeping thyme (Thymus serpyllum), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), lemon-scented gum (Corymbia citriodora), marjoram (Origanum majorana), peppermint (Mentha piperita), spearmint (M. spicata), and red thyme (Thymus vulgaris) were tested for repellency against adult D. reticulatus ticks at concentrations of 1 and 3%. Clove bud, creeping thyme and red thyme essential oils were the most efficient - repelling 83, 82 and 68% of ticks when diluted to 3%, respectively. The mixture of creeping thyme and citronella containing 1.5% of each showed higher repellency (91%) than individual essential oils at the concentration of 3%.
网纹革蜱是欧洲最重要的人畜共患病原体节肢动物传播媒介之一。对11种精油进行了测试,分别是罗勒(Ocimum basilicum)、佛手柑(Citrus bergamia)、丁香花蕾(Syzygium aromaticum)、香茅(Cymbopogon winterianus)、匍匐百里香(Thymus serpyllum)、薰衣草(Lavandula angustifolia)、柠檬桉(Corymbia citriodora)、马郁兰(Origanum majorana)、薄荷(Mentha piperita)、留兰香(M. spicata)和普通百里香(Thymus vulgaris),测试它们在1%和3%浓度下对成年网纹革蜱的驱避效果。丁香花蕾、匍匐百里香和普通百里香精油效果最佳,稀释至3%时分别能驱避83%、82%和68%的蜱虫。含有1.5%匍匐百里香和1.5%香茅的混合物在3%浓度下比单一精油表现出更高的驱避性(91%)。
