control of the haematophagous fly hippobosca maculata, a series pest of equines, by deltamethrin.	this study reports the results of both a small-scale and a large-scale field treatment to assess control of the haematophagous fly hippobosca maculata leach a serious pest of equines in a stud in india using a deltamethrin based formulation, butox. in the small-scale field trial application of 2 litres of deltamethrin at 0.001-0.003% concentration gave 90-100% control over 30 days. at 0.004% and 0.005% concentrations complete control was recorded for 45 and 90 days respectively. mass application ...	1991	1768928
control of haematophagous flies on equines with permethrin-impregnated eartags.	the efficacy of 10% (w/w) permethrin impregnated eartags for the control of the haematophagous fly pests stomoxys calcitrans l., haematopota dissimilis meigen and hippobosca maculata leach on equines in india was determined. the tags were found to be effective for 1-2 months against s. calcitrans and h. dissimilis but completely ineffective against h. maculata. no tags were lost during the study. tags can be used as part of an integrated control programme. this is the first reported use of earta ...	1989	2519656
evaluation of medicinal plant extracts against blood-sucking parasites.	the present study was based on assessments of the antiparasitic activities to determine the efficacies of acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, hexane, and methanol dried leaf, flower, and seed extracts of cassia auriculata l., rhinacanthus nasutus kurz., solanum torvum swartz, terminalia chebula retz., and vitex negundo linn. were tested against larvae of cattle tick rhipicephalus (boophilus) microplus canestrini, 1887 (acari: ixodidae), adult of haemaphysalis bispinosa neumann, 1897 (acarina: ix ...	2010	20306205
evaluation of botanical extracts against haemaphysalis bispinosa neumann and hippobosca maculata leach.	in the current study, in vitro evaluation of crude hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol extracts of anisomeles malabarica (l.) r. br., gloriosa superba l., psidium guajava l., ricinus communis l., and solanum trilobatum l. exhibited acaricidal and insecticidal activities against the adult of haemaphysalis bispinosa neumann (acarina: ixodidae) and hematophagous fly hippobosca maculata leach (diptera: hippoboscidae). all plant extracts showed moderate toxic effect on parasites ...	2010	20467752
efficacy of plant-mediated synthesized silver nanoparticles against hematophagous parasites.	the purpose of the present study was to investigate the acaricidal and larvicidal activity against the larvae of haemaphysalis bispinosa neumann (acarina: ixodidae) and larvae of hematophagous fly hippobosca maculata leach (diptera: hippoboscidae) and against the fourth-instar larvae of malaria vector, anopheles stephensi liston, japanese encephalitis vector, culex tritaeniorhynchus giles (diptera: culicidae) of synthesized silver nanoparticles (agnps) utilizing aqueous leaf extract from musa pa ...	2011	21638210
Efficacy of adulticidal and larvicidal properties of botanical extracts against Haemaphysalis bispinosa, Hippobosca maculata, and Anopheles subpictus.	The aim of the present study was to investigate the adulticidal and larvicidal activity of dried leaf hexane, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol extracts of Nelumbo nucifera, Manilkara zapota, Ipomoea staphylina, and Acalypha indica against the adults of Haemaphysalis bispinosa (Acarina: Ixodidae), hematophagous fly Hippobosca maculata (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), and fourth instar larvae of malaria vector Anopheles subpictus (Diptera: Culicidae). Parasites were exposed to varying concentrations ...	2011	21861064
evaluation of catharanthus roseus leaf extract-mediated biosynthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles against hippobosca maculata and bovicola ovis.	the purpose of the present study was based on assessments of the antiparasitic activities of synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles (tio(2) nps) utilizing leaf aqueous extract of catharanthus roseus against the adults of hematophagous fly, hippobosca maculata leach (diptera: hippoboscidae), and sheep-biting louse, bovicola ovis schrank (phthiraptera: trichodectidae). the synthesized tio(2) nps were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), scanning ...	2011	21987105
Acaricidal, insecticidal, and larvicidal efficacy of fruit peel aqueous extract of Annona squamosa and its compounds against blood-feeding parasites.	Plant products may be alternative sources of parasitic control agents, since they constitute a rich source of bioactive compounds that are eco-friendly and nontoxic products. The plant extracts are good and safe alternatives due to their low toxicity to mammals and easy biodegradability. In the present study, fruit peel aqueous extract of Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) extracted by immersion method exhibited adulticidal activity against Haemaphysalis bispinosa (Acarina: Ixodidae) and the hematopha ...	2011	22006187
