This study was
conducted to determine parasiticidal efficacy of seven ethnomedicinal plants
against Sarcoptes scabiei var. caprae of goats using in vivo and in vitro
techniques.
In vitro
techniques for evaluation of efficacy of medicinal plants essential oils and fixed
oils of seven medicinal plant extracts diluted at different concentrations
(essential oils from 2.5% to 0.15625% and fixed oils from 160 mg/ml to 5 mg/ml)
were added to petridishes containing adult stage of Sarcoptes scabiei var.
caprae.
After 3 h of
contact, all concentrations of essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus and
Cymbopogon citractus showed a good in vitro acaricidal efficacy as compared
with the non-treated controls (p<0.05).
