Evaluation Research of the Efficacy of Ruicao Oil against Acarid,Ticks,Solenopsis Invicta and Tumescence
Objective:To study the effects of Ruicao oil against acarid,ticks,Solenopsis invicta and tumescence.Methods:The repellent effect of Ruicao oil on acarid was detected by PCR gel electrophoresis.The repellant effects of Ruicao oil on ticks and Solenopsis invicta were observed by disk method and filter paper method,and the killing effects were observed by spray method and volatilization method.Mice with ear swelling induced by xylene were used as animal model to evaluate the antiswelling effect of Ruicao oil.Results:In the experiment of PCR gel electrophoresis,acarid DNA was not detected in the sampling sites coated with Ruicao oil.In the insect repellent experiments,the average times for ticks and Solenopsis invicta to pass through the rings containing Ruicao oil were significantly longer than those of the control rings.In the insecticidal experiments,the killing efficiency of Ruicao oil on ticks and Solenopsis invicta was 100%.The KT50 for ticks were 272.36 min(spray method)and 274.86 min(volatilization method),and for Solenopsis invicta were 7.12 min(spray method)and within 1 h(volatilization method).The average inhibitory efficiency of Ruicao oil on ear swelling in mice was 46.34%,which had no statistical difference with compound dexamethasone acetate cream.Conclusion:Ruicao oil has shown significant efficacy against acarid,ticks,Solenopsis invicta and tumescence.
