Fusarium wilt of banana is one the most serious diseases affecting plantations worldwide. In this study, inhibitory activities four essential oils (clove, cinnamon, lesser alpinia and eucalyptus) five hydrosols (kaffir lime, eucalyptus, bitter ginger, fig tea tree) on in vitro growth causal agent disease, oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4), were investigated. Results showed that som...

The in vitro anti-Babesia canis activities of nine essential oils were investigated. Among the tested Achillea millefolium, Eugenia caryophyllus and Citrus grandis most active (IC50 values 51.0, 60.3 61.3 μg/mL, respectively). from Abies sibirica, Rosmarinus officinalis, Eucalyptus globulus, Cinnamonum zeylanicum, Mentha piperita Pinus sylvestris less 134.3, 237.3, 239.3, 367.9, 837.5 907.3 res...

Bites Bites of mosquitoes belonging to the genera Anopheles Meigen, Aedes Meigen, Culex L. and Haemagogus L. are a general nuisance and are responsible for the transmission of important tropical diseases such as malaria, hemorrhagic dengue and yellow fevers and filariasis (elephantiasis). Plants are traditional sources of mosquito repelling essential oils (EOs), glyceridic oils and repellent an...

There is a growing interest of industry to replace synthetic chemicals by natural products with bioactive properties from plant origin. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the factors affecting antimicrobial effectiveness of essential oils Rosmarinus officinalis, Zataria multiflora, Anethum graveolens and Eucalyptus globulus against food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, Streptococcus...

Essential oils from plants are volatile aromatic compounds, mainly terpenoids, phenylpropanoids; monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and alcohols, these present a wide range of antimicrobial antioxidant activity, so the addition essential clove, eucalyptus, mint, rosemary, oregano, cinnamon can modify ruminal fermentation by reducing population bacteria producing methane thus have reduction in produc...

Chronic wounds and severe burns are diseases responsible for severe morbidity and even death. Wound repair is a crucial process and tissue regeneration enhancement and infection prevention are key factors to minimize pain, discomfort, and scar formation. The aim of this work was the development of lipid nanoparticles (solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers [NLC]), to be loa...

Although many plants have been investigated for their antifungal activity against candidiasis, more treatment options remain needed. This study evaluated the of 19 essential oils &lt;i&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/i&gt;. Nineteen oils, at concentrations 1% and 0.5%, were added to cultures &lt;i&gt;C. albicans&lt;/i&gt; incubated 37°C 18 h. The optical density was measured 600 nm. dependent on concen...
