Davis (Lamiaceae), an endemic species in Turkey, and its major constituents, carvacrol was evaluated against unfed adults Rhipicephalus turanicus Pomerantzev (Acari: Ixodidae) collected from Kepez, Antalya. The composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC/MS. The major compound identified in the oil was carvacrol (93.02%). Generally, tick mortalities to the O. bilged distillate and carvacrol increased with concentrations. O. bilged oil produced >83% mortality at 48 h at a concentration of 0.8% and mortality was higher than 63% at a carvacrol concentration of 0.4%. Our results have shown that O. bilged essential oil and its major component, carvacrol, may have potential as acaricidal agents against R. turanicus.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessParasitologyVeterinary sciencesCarvacrolEssential oilOriganum bilgeriRhipicephalus turanicusTick controlL. essential oilTickAcariIxodidaIxodidaeLamiaceaeOriganumRhipicephalus turanicusAcaricidesAnimalsMonoterpenesOriganumPlant oilsRhipicephalusArticle0003166461000482-s2.0-848737473833163191931-323218220ParasitologyVeterinary sciencesRhipicephalus Microplus; Ticks; AcaricidesAcaricideCarvacrolEssential oilOriganum bilgeri extractPlant extractUnclassified drugAcariArticleEndemic speciesGas chromatographyInsecticidal activityLC 50Mass spectrometryMortalityNonhumanOriganumOriganum bilgeriRhipicephalusRhipicephalus turanicusTurkey (republic)
