Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a nano-composite using layered double hydroxide (LDH) with essential oil from Ocimum basilicum (OB) to target Rhipicephalus annulatus ticks.
- The studies showed that the OB/LDH nano-composite achieved 100% adult tick mortality and effectively inhibited egg hatching at higher concentrations (300 l/mL).
- Compared to OB alone, the OB/LDH nano-composite demonstrated increased efficacy in both larval mortality and repellent activity, confirming its potential as a more effective acaricide.
