The susceptibility of Dermanyssus gallinae adults, collected from poultry farms in 5 regions, to 11 acaricides was investigated. When bifenthrin and formic acid with pyridaben were diluted 100 times, bifenthrin showed 100% acaricidal activity; however, formic acid with pyridaben showed less than 20% acaricidal activity for poultry farms in 3 regions (Gyeongju, Chilgok, and Geumsan) except Yeoncheon and Anseong. Clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fenitrothion, and formic acid with pyridaben showed differences in acaricidal activity among regions. Therefore, farmers should concentrate during the selection of these acaricides. However, carbaryl, cartap hydrochloride, dichlorvos, and bifenthrin showed high activity against D. gallinae collected from poultry farms in five regions. To control D. gallinae effectively, the alternation of acaricides is necessary, and indiscriminate pesticide use should be avoided. Therefore, this study can serve as a basis for controlling D. gallinae.

The acaricidal activity of a methanolic extract and fractions from the rhizome of Cnidium officinale against Dermanyssus gallinae adults was investigated. The C. officinale methanolic extract exhibited 100% acaricidal activity after 48 h of treatment at a dose of 4,000 ppm. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed (Z)-ligustilide as a constituent of C. officinale. Acaricidal activity was examined in three experimental tests (spray, fumigation and contact), with the spraying method being the most effective. The methanolic extract of C. officinale showed both contact and fumigant activities, though only fumigant activity was observed with (Z)-ligustilide. These results suggest that C. officinale derived material can be used for the development of a control agent for D. gallinae.

5개 지역 양계장에서 채집한 닭진드기(Dermanyssus gallinae) 성충에 대한 11종 살비제의 감수성을 조사하였다. Bifenthrin과 formic acid + pyridaben은 100배의 희석배수로 처리한 결과, bifenthrin은 5가지 지역에서 모두 100%의 살비율을 보였으나 formic acid + pyridaben 합제 는 연천과 안성을 제외한 나머지 3지역(경주, 칠곡, 금산)에서 20% 이하의 낮은 살비율을 보였다. 카바메이트계 약제인 carbaryl은 경주(45.0%) 를 제외한 4지역에서 100%의 살비효과를 보였다. 유기인계 약제인 dichlorvos는 연천을 제외한 4지역 모두 100%의 살비효과를 보였지만 연천 은 66.7%의 살비율을 보였다. 연천과 안성지역의 양계장이 살비제에 대한 감수성이 높게 나타났으나 다른 3지역(경주, 칠곡, 금산)의 경우에는 약제에 따라 활성의 차이를 보였다. Clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fenitrothion, formic acid + pyridaben은 지역에 따라 살비활성의 효과에 차이를 보여 사용 시 주의를 기울여야 할 것이나, carbaryl과 cartap hydrochloride, dichlorvos, bifenthrin은 실험에 사용된 모든 지역에서 활 성이 높아 모든 지역에서 사용가능할 것으로 생각된다. 양계장별 살비제 활성이 차이를 보이는바 효과적인 닭진드기의 방제를 위해서는 살비제의 활성평가와 더불어 약제의 교호살포와 무분별한 사용을 지양해야할 것으로 보이며 본 연구가 닭진드기 방제를 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Dermanyssus gallinae is parasitic to chicken, and they cause many damages such as disturbing sleep reducing for body weight and egg production by blood-sucking. To develop acaricide against D. gallinae, The acaricidal activity of 40 species plant extract were examined. Cnidium officinale extracted by Me-OH showed 82.0% acaricidal activity after treated 48 hrs at 4,000 ppm. The hexane fraction showed 92.4% mortality against D. gallinae at 48 hrs at 2,000 ppm. Purification of the biologically active constituents from the hexane extraction with acaricidal activity was done using silica gel open column chromatography and HPLC. H1122 fraction gave 80.9% mortality to D. gallinae at 400 ppm after treated 48 hrs. H1122 fraction was analyzed by GC-MS and NMR.
