In Vitro Evaluation of Essential Oils Derived from Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) and Citrus limonum (Rutaceae) against the Tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

<div>Mortality percentage of R. microplus engorged females exposed to Citrus limonum and Piper nigrum essential oil. Adult Immersion Test (AIT) on mortality of the tick R. microplus. Groups treated with different concentrations of essential oil of C. limonum (a), P. nigrum (b), the combination of both oils (c), and positive control were the commercial acaricides Deltamethrin and Amitraz. In combination oils used the 1 : 1 (vol/vol) concentration of each oil. Results are means ± SD of five experiments.</div>
