Acaricidal agents of natural origin against Psoroptes cuniculi

Parassitologia. 1994 Dec;36(3):269-71.

Abstract

Lavandula angustifolia Miller essential oil and some of its main constituents, i.e. linalool, linalyl acetate, and camphor were tested in vitro for their bioactivities against Psoroptes cuniculi (Delafond, 1859), mite of the rabbit. The essential oil and linalool were found to have very powerful miticidal activities.
