Acaricidal activity of essential oils from leaves of Chromolaena odorata (L.) King & Robins.,Eucalyptus saligna Smith.& Chenopodium ambrosioides on ticks (Rhipicephalus lunulatus Neumann,1907) of West African Dwarf Goats (WADG) in Cameroon
Goat population in Cameroon is estimated at 3,760,000.However,their productivity is severely limited by malnutrition and diseases,including ectoparasites infestations.Standard synthetic compounds have been used to control ticks in the region but limited resources,high cost and the development of resistance restricts their use by poor farmer.Alternative anti‐ tick strategies are therefore required.Extracts of many plants are known to have wide ranges of biological activities ( Kuiate, 1993) which if effectively used can reduce the fatal effects of these parasites on animals.This study was carried out to evaluate the bioactivity of essential oils from the leaves of C.odorota (CO),E.saligna (ES) and C.ambrosioides (CA) on R.lunulatus (RL) of WADG in Cameroon.
