BACKGROUND
Ziziphus vulgaris L. and Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze are medicinal plants widely used in various ethnomedical systems, particularly in Iranian Traditional Medicine, for the treatment of various diseases.
OBJECTIVES
While their biological activities are well-documented, their effectiveness against Varroa destructor, a significant ectoparasite of Apis mellifera (honeybees), remains unknown. As V. destructor poses a serious threat to honeybee populations globally, it is crucial for researchers to explore novel control methods.
METHODS
In this study, we evaluated the anti-Varroa activity of Z. vulgaris and C. sinensis at different concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 µL/L air) and exposure times (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 h).
RESULTS
The results showed that mite mortality increased in parallel with the increase in extract concentration and exposure time. Importantly, the plant extracts did not cause significant mortality in A. mellifera compared to the control group.
CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, our findings suggest that these plant extracts could be effective agents for managing V. destructor.
背景
酸枣和茶树是在各种民族医学体系中广泛使用的药用植物，尤其是在伊朗传统医学中，用于治疗各种疾病。
目的
虽然它们的生物活性已有充分记录，但它们对西方蜜蜂的一种重要体外寄生虫——狄斯瓦螨的有效性仍然未知。由于狄斯瓦螨对全球蜜蜂种群构成严重威胁，研究人员探索新的控制方法至关重要。
方法
在本研究中，我们评估了酸枣和茶树在不同浓度（5、10、15、20和25微升/升空气）和暴露时间（5、10、15、20和25小时）下的抗狄斯瓦螨活性。
结果
结果表明，螨虫死亡率随着提取物浓度和暴露时间的增加而平行增加。重要的是，与对照组相比，植物提取物在西方蜜蜂中未引起显著死亡。
结论
总之，我们的研究结果表明，这些植物提取物可能是管理狄斯瓦螨的有效药剂。
