충북 청주지역에서 채집된 작은소피참진드기(Haemaphysalis longicornis)에 대하여 다양한 식물체 메탄올 조추출물과 천궁유래 물질들을 이용하여 살비활성과 기피활성을 조사하였다. 총 24종의 식물추출물을 이용한 작은소피참진드기에 대한 살비활성을 조사한 결과, 천궁(Cnidium officinale)에서 93.3%의 살비율로 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, 기피 효과의 경우 도라지, 미국자리공, 백목련, 어성초, 천궁, 칡잎 등에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 기피 및 살비활성이 가장 높은 천궁의 메탄올추출물을 용매 분획한 물질들과 천궁 유래물질인 butylidenephthalide 의 활성을 비교한 결과, 헥산(hexane)층 처리 3일 후에 90%의 높은 살비효과를 보였으며 기피반응도 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 천궁 유래물질인 butylidenephthalide은 처리 7일 후에 90%의 살비활성을 보였고 T-tube olfactometer 실험에서 모든 작은소피참진드기가 무처리 구로 이동하여 기피활성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 천궁 조추출물과 천궁유래물질인 butylidenephthalide를 이용하여 작은 소피참진드기의 방제 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The essential oils of three Coriandrum sativum seeds cultivated from India, Russia and America were evaluated for acaricidal toxicities against Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus, and Tyrophagus putrescentiae. The oils of three C. sativum seeds were analyzed by gas chromatography. The oil of C. sativum seeds cultivated from India included substantially linalool (66.8%) and camphor (6.46%). In the fumigant bioassay, based on the LD50 values against D. farinae, D. pteronyssinus, and T. putrescentiae, the oil of C. sativum seeds cultivated from America (LD50, 2.62, 2.74, and 2.88 μg/cm3) was about 3.75, 3.32, and 4.17 times more active higher than benzyl benzoate (9.85, 9.10 and, 12.01 μg/cm3). The acaricidal activity of the oil of C. sativum seeds cultivated from India was 2.27, 2.03, and 2.64 times higher than that of the benzyl benzoate, followed by Russia oil. These results suggest that the oils of three C. sativum seeds might be used as suitable acaricides.

In this study, we evaluated the acaricidal activities of AP and its derivatives for their potentials as natural acaricides using the vapor phase and contact toxicity bioassays against Dermatophagoides spp. and Tyrophagus putrescentiae, and then compared with that of commercial acaricide such as benzyl benzoate. The acaricidal constituent of A. koreana was isolated by various chromatographic techniques and identified as 2’-H-4’-MAP. In the vapor phase toxicity bioassay, based on the LD50 values of 2’-H-4’-MAPand its derivatives against D. farinae, 2’-MAP (1.25 ㎍/㎠) was 8.0 times more effective than benzyl benzoate (10.00 ㎍/㎠), followed by 3’-MAP (1.26 ㎍/㎠), 4’-MAP (1.29 ㎍/㎠), 2’-H-4’-MAP (1.75 ㎍/㎠), and 2’-H-5’-MAP (1.96 ㎍/㎠). In the contact toxicity bioassay, 3’-MAP (0.58 ㎍/㎠) was 12.97 times more toxic than benzyl benzoate (7.52 ㎍/㎠), followed by 2’-MAP (0.64 ㎍/㎠), 2’-H-4’-MAP (0.76 ㎍/㎠), 4’-MAP (0.77 ㎍/㎠), and 2’-H-5’-MAP (1.16 ㎍/㎠). The acaricidal activities of 2’-H-4’-MAP derivatives against D. pteronyssinus and T. putrescentiae were similar to those against D. farinae. These results indicated that acaricidal activities of 2’-H-4’-MAP derivatives against the three mite species were changed with the introduction of hydroxyl (-OH) and methyl (-CH3) groups onto the acetophenone skeleton.

Repellent and acaricidal activities of eucalyptus oil, permethrin, and DEET against Leptotrombidium pallidum larvae, which are a vector transmitting tsutsugamushi disease, were evaluated under laboratory conditions using a filter paper impregnated method. The LD₅₀ values of eucalyptus oil and DEET were 0.025 and 0.018 ㎎/㎠, respectively while that of permethrin was higher than 0.2 ㎎/㎠. In the repellency test of these materials at 6.14 ㎎/㎠, eucalyptus oil gave complete repellency, and the larvae crossed the treated zone killed. But permethrin showed 60% repellency at 9.20 ㎎/㎠ and the mites croosed the zone were not killed. The percent repellency of DEET at 0.53 ㎎/㎠ was 8.3 and 2.8 times higher than that of permethrin and eucalyptus oil, respectively. The acaricidal activities of emulsifiable concentrates-pump sprayers containing the eucalyptus oil as an active ingredient were assayed. The emulsifiable concentrates containing 1% and 3% eucalyptus oil showed weak mortality at 1 hour after treatment, while all ones containing more than 6% oil produced 100% activity against L. pallidum larvae. The mortality also increased as exposure time to the concentrates increase. These results suggest that the potential of eucalyptus oil highly expected to be used as a control or repellent agent against L. pallidum larvae may be very high.
