Article Synopsis
- - Humans have historically utilized various plant parts for preventing and treating illnesses, with many plants containing beneficial secondary metabolites known for their biological activities, such as antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects.
- - The study focuses on Pamp. (Compositae), a plant used in southern India for controlling pests, particularly assessing the acaricidal activity of its ethanolic leaf extract against ticks, which are known to spread serious diseases and negatively impact livestock production.
- - Chemical tick control methods face challenges like high costs and environmental risks, making plant-based formulations a promising alternative, with prior research supporting the efficacy of various medicinal plants in combatting ectoparasites.
The ovary of Haemaphysalis bispinosa was of panoistic type with asynchronous development of oocytes. The wall of the ovary was composed of a layer of epithelial cells to which the oocytes were attached by means of pedicel cells with elongated nucleus. The oocytes were classified into stages I to V based on morphologic characteristics like size and shape, presence / absence of germ vesicle, cytoplasmic appearance, presence or absence of yolk granules and presence of chorion.

The LC50 values observed for fenvalerate and cypermethrin were 1570 ppm and 184 ppm respectively.
